Langhe DOC Chardonnay Ampelio - Fontanafredda is born in the heart of the Langhe, an area renowned for its wine excellence in Piedmont. This refined white wine derives all its character from vineyards located on calcareous-clay soils, ideal for enhancing the freshness and structure of the grape variety. The aging takes place in oak barrels, which give the wine an elegant softness and light vanilla notes, without overpowering the fruity intensity.
In the glass, it appears clear with bright golden reflections; on the nose, aromas of white-fleshed fruit, peach, and apple unfold, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a slight hint of butter. On the palate, it is balanced, with good acidity that provides liveliness and a long, savory finish.
Perfect paired with fish dishes, shellfish, or white meats, Langhe DOC Chardonnay Ampelio expresses the elegance of the territory and the oenological care of Fontanafredda at its best.

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.
