Product Notes

Fontanafredda Barolo DOCG is a notable Italian wine renowned for its robust, yet intricate profile and graceful ageing potential. Originating from Piedmont, Italy, this luxurious red garners its craftsmanship from the Nebbiolo grape. Marrying a delightful balance of smoky, berry-rich flavours, it reveals layers of complexity over time. Noteworthy for its earthy undertones followed by a hint of vanilla, it boasts a pleasant tart aftertaste. It makes a fantastic pairing with hearty red meats and is often served alongside mature cheeses. Its ruby red colour, rich bouquet and sumptuous texture manifests quality; hence, it is a cherished addition to the most discerning oenophile's collection.

Tasting Notes

The classic Barolo aromas of tar and roses convert seamlessly into a powerful, concentrated mouthful.
