Fontanafredda Barolo 2019

"The Barolo “Riserva” is a wine that offers great emotions: from the color, intense garnet red, with ruby reflections. The aroma is clear and intense, with hints of black cherry, tobacco, dried mushrooms, spices such as nutmeg and pepper and some balsamic aromas reminiscent of resin and mint. The taste is warm, soft, with sweet and velvety tannins that go well with a fresh acid note that helps to provide a long final persistence. Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner company.

Since 1858, the Fontanafredda Estate & Winery has been instrumental to the growth and international awareness of Barolo, while championing sustainability and community engagement in the Langhe region of Piedmont. Under the lead of visionary entrepreneur, Oscar Farinetti, Fontanafredda has built a portfolio of wines that express the depth and diversity of the Langhe, produced from grapes that are farmed from organic and sustainably managed vineyards. Since the 2018 harvest, Fontanafredda is the largest certified organic winery in Piedmont." -Importer notes
