Barolo DOCG Serralunga d'Alba - Fontanafredda embodies the essence of the famous Langhe territory, renowned for its clay-limestone soils that give Nebbiolo a magnificent structure and distinct elegance. This wine is made from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes and aged using traditional methods in wooden barrels, which impart complexity and refinement to its aromatic profile.

On the nose, it opens with intense notes of withered rose, ripe cherry, and sweet spices, accompanied by earthy and tobacco hints that evoke the unique terroir of Serralunga. On the palate, it surprises with its firm yet velvety tannic texture, supported by a vibrant acidity that provides balance and longevity. The finish is long and engaging, leaving an elegant and enveloping sensation.

Perfectly paired with red meat dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, it is a wine that fully expresses the nobility and tradition of Barolo, crafted for those who love the authenticity and depth of the Piedmontese 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.
