Tasting Notes: MGA Fontanafredda is a single-vineyard within the greater cru site of the Fontanafredda estate, itself demarcated as an MGA. Notes of red berry fruits and violets with tight, but silky tannins. The finish of red fruit is long and persistent. Ideal with hearty stews and big red meat dishes.
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 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.
