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.

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.

Fontanafredda

Founded in 1858 in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, Fontanafredda is one of Piedmont's most emblematic estates and a global reference for Barolo. Its history began when King Victor Emmanuel II acquired the estate for Countess Rosa Vercellana, known as "Bela Rosin." For over 160 years, Fontanafredda has contributed to the renown of great Piedmontese wines through an exceptional heritage, an extensive vineyard, and a philosophy focused on the authentic expression of its terroirs. Today, the estate is one of the major players in high-quality Italian viticulture.
