Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Barolo "Fontanin" DOC - Livia Fontana

More questions

The Nebbiolo vineyards are grown in Castiglione Falletto, at an altitude of approximately 300-350 m. above sea level The harvest is carried out manually with careful selection of the grapes, then placed in baskets, around mid-October. The refinement lasts approximately 40 months in traditional oak barrels, then continues in the bottle in the basement of the cellar at controlled temperature and humidity.

It shows off a deep red color with reflections ranging from intense ruby ​​to garnet. Very complex aromas arrive on the nose, with floral aromas of macerated violet and balsamic hints, spicy returns reminiscent of liquorice root and nutmeg. The taste is clear, structured with a soft but well-defined tannin.

We recommend pairing with red meat dishes, roasts and game, perfect with mature cheeses.
