A Barolo DOCG made from 100% Nebbiolo, bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml format. The 2017 vintage was awarded 91 points by Wine Enthusiast.
Fontanafredda traces its origins to 1858 in Serralunga d'Alba and encompasses roughly 250 acres. Fermentation runs 8-10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 30-31°C, followed by extended aging in large oak botti.
The nose opens with scorched earth and leather, then truffle and a delicate floral note of iris, with dried red fruit and dark berry behind. The palate brings dried cherry and ripe plum, ground clove and a whisper of game, with firm tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and structured, with licorice, dried herbs and lingering berry fruit.
