Barbaresco DOCG - Fontanafredda

The barrel-aged Barbaresco from the wine-growing region of Piedmont presents itself in the glass in dense ruby red. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which is evident in the 'church windows' at the rim of the glass. The nose of this red wine from Piedmont impresses with aromas of blackberry and sour cherry. As we delve further into the aroma, juniper berries come into play.

This Italian wine delights with its straightforward dry flavor profile. It was bottled with just 0.4 grams of residual sugar. As one would expect from a wine in the premium category, this Italian wine certainly charms with a fine balance, despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine presents itself wonderfully smooth and creamy. Thanks to its vibrant fruit acidity, the Barbaresco reveals itself on the palate as wonderfully fresh and lively. The finish of this red wine from the Piedmont region, specifically from Barbera d'Alba DOC, ultimately captivates with a lovely aftertaste.

Vinification of Barbaresco by Fontanafredda

The powerful Barbaresco from Italy is a varietal wine, made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape variety. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported to the pressing house. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wood barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the powerful Barbaresco is aged for several months in oak barriques.
