Technical notes
In the MGA Paiagallo there is one of the historic vineyards of Fontanafredda: the Villa. From here, once reaching full maturity, the grapes were delivered to the winery in small crates in order to preserve the integrity of the berries and immediately destemmed in steel tanks where fermentation was triggered by indigenous yeasts. At the end of this phase the must was left for a few more days in contact with the skins to extract all the noble substances that contributed to the conservation during aging. First, it took place in oak barrels for 30 months, then continued for about 8 months in the bottle in a dark and cool temperature controlled setting.
Pairings
The Barolo par excellence goes well with important dishes, such as traditional Piedmontese meat main courses and medium-long-aged cheeses. But not only that, if we explore the possibilities of world food and wine we can range in original combinations: a mede in USA pulled pork, a mexican Chili con carne or a good plate of falafel from Turkey.
If you like, it can also accompany the conversation at the end of the meal or a “special” toast!
