The Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Pilone del Canta Fontanafredda is born in the heart of the Langhe, a land famous for its wine-making tradition and the ideal climate for growing the Dolcetto grape. This wine fully expresses the typicality of the territory, with selected bunches that give a fresh and lively structure. The intense ruby red color anticipates a fruity bouquet dominated by scents of cherry and plum, accompanied by light floral notes and a delicate spiciness.



On the palate it reveals itself to be soft and harmonious, with gentle tannins and a pleasant almond finish, typical of Dolcetto. The brief aging in steel preserves the freshness and immediacy of the fruit, making it perfect to accompany traditional Piedmont dishes such as agnolotti or white meats. A wine to discover for those seeking authenticity and character in every sip.

Winery history
The estate made history in the 19th century: purchased by Vittorio Emanuele II in 1858 and associated with Rosa Vercellana, the property was developed by the Mirafiore family and had already established its commercial reputation by the late 1800s. In the 20th century the Fontanafredda brand consolidated as a reference producer in the Langhe; after hardships related to crises and wars, the company regained momentum and, in 2008, was relaunched under new ownership led by Oscar Farinetti. In recent years Fontanafredda has undertaken a program of technical renewal and sustainability known as “Rinascimento Verde,” publishing sustainability reports and holding certifications as reported by the producer.
Production philosophy
Local production focused on quality, the protection of the vineyard landscape and sustainability. Fontanafredda coordinates a network of suppliers to operate across a wide area while maintaining a strong focus on conversion to organic farming, biodiversity and the transmission of agricultural practices between generations, with a significant investment in storytelling and the local community.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, the estate manages vineyards in several municipalities of the Langhe and lower Piedmont at varying altitudes. The area is characterized by limestone hills and the typical continental climate of the Langhe.
