A story of roses...
“La Rosa” is one of the most prestigious vineyards in Fontanafredda. A name that pays homage to Countess Rosa who managed the estate, but also echoes the aromas of roses found in high quality Barolo... like here! 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.

Kerin O'Keefe - Top 100 Wines of 2024

"Compelling aromas of wild rose, new leather, eucalyptus and dark spice take shape on the lustrous 2020 Vigna La Rosa. Combining concentration and a weightless finesse, the delicious, textured palate doles out raspberry compote, juicy cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside velvety, enveloping tannins that leave a polished finish."

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.
