The Nebbiolo in lace mode!
What elegance ! Subtle aromas of ripe plums, blueberries and violets mingle with licorice and tobacco, while the airy palate offers a delicate powdery sensation. This profile is notably due to the limestone terroir, a type of soil known for producing extremely fine wines. A high-class red wine!

Fontanafredda
The former hunting ground of King Victor Emmanuel II was transformed into a wine estate in 1878 to produce quality wines, particularly Barolo. Today, Fontanafredda, a world-renowned winery and the largest certified organic wine company in Piedmont, retains its noble past, but also continues its quest for innovation.
