A story of roses...

This red wine also offers notes of ripe fruit, cherry and morello cherry, and sweet spices. Its depth and great structure make it a wine to keep. After ten years, this 2013 is ready to be tasted!

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.
