A white man in the land of red!
If Piedmont is best known for its reds, it also hides some appellations dedicated to white grape varieties, such as that of Gavi, which offers the Cortese grape variety. Fontanafredda produces a certified organic white wine here, dry and aromatic, with the scent of white flowers, lemon and Granny Smith apple. An aperitif and gastronomy wine, with antipasti, risotto, even cheeses... the magic of high quality white wines!

Colour

A beautiful straw yellow with lime highlights.

Nose

Magnificent aromas of white flowers, particularly lily of the valley, delicately combine with the scents of lemon and granny smith, all coated in a subtle vanilla nuance.

Palate

On the palate, it is pleasantly dry, rich and harmonious, a very elegant vintage.

Ideal to accompany

Served chilled, it is a great aperitif wine. At the table, it is an ideal accompaniment to antipasti, fish-based appetizers, shellfish, baked fish, grilled white meats, light pasta dishes and risottos, and expressive cheeses.

How to serve it

Wine-growing terroir

From vineyards nestled in the hills of the Gavi production area, south of Alexandria in Piedmont, at an altitude between 200 and 300 m. The vines draw their strength from a sandy soil, yellowish in color, rich in marl and limestone.

Winemaking

Slow pressing, separation of the must from the skins, fermentation at low temperature (18°C), 85% in stainless steel vats and 15% in barrels, cooling and static settling, aging for 2 - 3 months in stainless steel vats, cold stabilization before bottling in bottles.

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.
