Fontanafredda "Proprieta in FF" Barolo DOCG 2015 [Dtr 98]

Decanter World Wine awards, Platinum Medal, 98 points. Wine Enthusiast 94 points. Tasting Notes: The Fontanafredda Barolo has a vibrant, floral nose, with typical traces of dried flowers, fall leaves and woodland underbrush. Robust and full-bodied, with acidity and firm tannins that give a sense of freshness that prolongs the finish. Estate History: Among the splendid rolling hills of the Langhe, in the heart of Piedmont, stands the beautiful Fontanafredda estate, which once belonged to King Vittorio Emanuele II who n turn gave it to Rosa Vercellana, a commoner with whom he had fallen madly in love. An ancient love story, kept alive by the modern Fontanafredda team, with particular attention to that desire to renew and improve that which has always distinguished the company, now a point of reference in the Langa area. Here, indeed the passion for wine, for the land and for tradition finds its most concrete expression.
