Description

The Nebbiolo D'Alba DOC Marne Brune Biologico - Fontanafredda is born in the hills rich in dark marls of the Alba area, where the nebbiolo finds its ideal habitat to express elegance and structure. This organic wine faithfully reflects the character of the principal Piedmontese grape variety, with intense aromas of rose, withered violet, and small red fruits, accompanied by light spicy notes and a hint of damp earth typical of marl soil.

The traditional aging, carried out in wooden barrels for a calibrated period, gives complexity, silky tannins, and a harmonious balance between acidity and structure, offering a long and enveloping finish. On the palate, it is a wine of great personality, capable of evolving over time while always maintaining freshness and vigor.

It pairs well with red meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, enhancing the richness of the Nebbiolo d’Alba territory.

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.
