Barolo

Produced only in certain vintages, when nature surpasses the hand of man, traditionally selecting the best grapes from the estate-owned vineyards historically known to have the best exposure. It ages in oak barrels for at least 62 months.

The M.G.A. Lazzarito is home to one of the most important Fontanafredda vineyards: Vigna La Delizia extends for 0.5646 hectares and also reaches the M.G.A. Parafada. It’s located on top of a strip of land made up of silt, sand, and clay; therefore, it enjoys the best exposure of the entire M.G.A. It’s a tasty Barolo with spicy and minty aromas, deep verticality, and a tannin that needs some time to express itself at its best.

Vigna La Rosa is one of the most historical and representative Fontanafredda vineyards, with over 70 years of continuous production; it was born in the heart of the M.G.A. Fontanafredda and it was the first vineyard to be vinified individually, in 1964. With an extension of 6.9447 hectares, this strip of land, full of silt, clay, and sand, is named after the “Bella Rosina” and, not by chance, it reminds us of the floral aromas of rose. It’s a deep, elegant, and floral wine.

One of Fontanafredda’s most historical vineyards was born in the heart of the M.G.A Paiagallo. It is named after the royal farmstead at the foot of Vigna La Villa, and is located in Barolo, in a strip of land full of silt, clay, and sand. It’s a M.G.A. that is characterized by harmoniously curved shapes, with an excellent east-facing exposure. Vigna La Villa extends for 3.190 hectares within Paiagallo and today it gives life to a fruity and elegant Barolo, with richness on the palate and a sweet tannin.

Fontanafredda is one of the 181 MGAs and is named after the amphitheatre of vineyards of the same name at the entrance to the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. A Barolo of outstanding finesse and elegance. (aggiungere Monopole)

How to rediscover the value of time? Few things in the world can give us back this concept, and wine is one of them. Time cannot be bought, time passes, time changes, the climate changes, and this tells us that we must change too. We have to be more careful, more precise and give more value to what surrounds us. For over sixty years we have been collecting great vintages of different vines in our cellar, thinking that one day the right moment would have come, when these bottles would have had something to say not only for their quality, but also for the ethical emblem they symbolise. And today our ethic tell us that we need to slow down, be less shallow and appreciate time. With these exact pictures of the last 62 years, we hope that our historical reserves will help us to reflect and enjoy.
