Fontanafredda, Barolo Monforte d'Alba 2016

The pleasant aroma of dark pomegranate wine is full of oak, herbs spiced with red berries hins. The taste is juicy, with spicy vanilla notes. The aftertaste is long-lasting.

The wine goes well with various meat dishes and cheeses.

Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at temperature of 28°C.

The wine is aged for two years in large French and Slavoninan oak barrels. After bottling follows an additional period of aging in the bottle for at least 12 months. 

The Stripes range with striped labels was conceived to produce the widest range of wines from Piedmont. 

Terroir with unique soils of the Miocene period with a high content of limestone, gray marl and sand, south and southwest exposure of the plots plays an important role in the cultivation of Nebbiolo. The grapes seem to absorb the richness of the soil and the sun lights.

The brand with its beautiful name Fontanafredda, which means "Cold Spring", has an unusual romantic origin history. This is a love story between Duchess of Italy Rosa Mirafiori and the king Vittorio Emanuele II. Today, the company produces a wide range of the best Piedmont wines, which are included in the wine lists of the best restaurants and regularly receive high reviews from wine critics. Internationally recognized Robert Parker calls Fontanafreda "one of the greatest names of Piedmont winemaking."
