Tasting Notes: Nebbiolo grapes for Coste Rubìn are sourced from the Treiso and Neive communes of Barbaresco. The color is a bright ruby-red with garnet highlights. On the nose ripe plums, blueberries and violets merge harmoniously with hints of licorice, cinnamon, and tobacco. Well-structured tannins and closely packed fruit fill the mouth, leading to a long finish. This is an ideal pairing for well-seasoned steaks and flavorful stews.
Estate History: Among the splendid rolling hills of the Langhe, in the heart of Piedmont, stands the beautiful Fontanafredda estate, which once belonged to King Vittorio Emanuele II who n turn gave it to Rosa Vercellana, a commoner with whom he had fallen madly in love. An ancient love story, kept alive by the modern Fontanafredda team, with particular attention to that desire to renew and improve that which has always distinguished the company, now a point of reference in the Langa area. Here, indeed the passion for wine, for the land and for tradition finds its most concrete expression.
