Nebbiolo di Fontanafredda comes from guyot-trained plants on the hills of Langhe and Roero, between 200 and 300 metres above sea level, whose soils are rich in limestone and marl. The grapes are harvested in the first ten days of October. The vinification is traditionally carried out in steel and ageing in wood for at least 8 months, followed by a further 2-3 months in the bottle before being marketed.

NEBBIOLO FONTANAFREDDA EBBIO: TASTING

The Langhe Nebbiolo Ebbio di Fontanafredda is presented in the glass with a brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose, it is fragrant, with notes of fresh violets, red plums and references to light mentholated balsams. The sip is delicately tannic and vibrant, with a certain pleasant softness that makes it truly inviting to drink. Perfect to drink slightly refreshed, in spring, accompanied by a rich Fricieu aperitif (Piedmontese fried pasta), slightly seasoned cured meats and soft cheeses; or with the delicious tongue in green sauce.
