Descrizione

The Piemonte DOC Barbera of Fontanafredda is a wine that tells the story of Piedmontese winemaking tradition with an intense and contemporary expressiveness.

Produced in the renowned Piedmont area, this Barbera stands out for its native grape variety, a symbol of freshness and liveliness. The carefully selected Barbera grapes express a deeply brilliant ruby color and a rich olfactory profile of red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, nuanced by delicate spicy notes and a slight hint of vanilla due to aging in wooden barrels. On the palate, it is balanced, with excellent acidity that guarantees freshness and a soft tannic structure that makes it immediately drinkable yet full of character.

Ideal to accompany first courses with red sauces, white meats, and aged cheeses, this Barbera of Fontanafredda is a perfect ambassador of Piemonte’s enological vocation.

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.
