Characterised by a garnet colour with ruby reflections, this vegan wine expresses aromas of black cherry, tobacco and dried mushrooms, combined with notes of nutmeg and resin. On the palate, it is defined by \u003cstrong\u003esweet and velvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced by a firm freshness that leads towards a persistent finish. Perfect when paired with robust meat dishes and \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e, it also proves to be an excellent \u003cstrong\u003emeditation wine\u003c\/strong\u003e at the end of a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nebbiolo grapes grow in Piedmont, between the municipalities of Serralunga d’Alba and Barolo. The vineyards, trained using the Guyot system with a density of 4,400-5,000 vines per hectare, are located at altitudes between 300 and 400 metres with south and south-west exposure. The soil is composed of clay and calcareous marl enriched with sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place in the first two decades of October. \u003cstrong\u003eSteel fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts for 12-15 days at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a long maceration on the skins using the \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap\u003c\/strong\u003e technique for a further 25-30 days, a method that allows for optimal extraction of polyphenols. The total ageing lasts at least 62 months: the first phase involves resting for at least two years in Slavonian and Allier \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by final maturation in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Piedmont, between Serralunga d’Alba and Barolo, Fontanafredda's \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo DOCG Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced exclusively in the most exceptional vintages.
