Descrizione

The Roero Arneis DOCG Pradalupo by Fontanafredda is born in the heart of Roero, one of the most suitable areas of Piedmont, known for its sandy soils rich in minerals that give complexity to the Arneis grape variety. This white wine stands out for its elegance and freshness, enhanced by fermentation in stainless steel that preserves the varietal characteristics without overlays. In the glass, it appears with a bright straw yellow color and an interesting bouquet of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, and light citrus notes. The palate is harmonious, with a pleasant acidity that gives liveliness and a slightly almond finish that enhances its minerality. Perfect to pair with delicate appetizers, crustaceans, and fish dishes, this Roero Arneis is an authentic example of the Piedmontese winemaking tradition elevated to the refined interpretation of Fontanafredda.

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.
