Fontanafredda is one of Piedmont’s historic estates, founded in 1858 by Italy’s first king, Vittorio Emanuele II, and long associated with the early development of Barolo. Centered in Serralunga d’Alba, the estate farms extensive vineyards across prime Langhe crus and has become a leader in sustainable, biodiversity‑focused viticulture. Today Fontanafredda produces a wide range of wines—from approachable everyday bottlings to site‑specific Barolo—known for their balance, purity, and classic regional character, all rooted in more than 160 years of winemaking heritage.

A clear, ruby-red wine with violet highlights. Its vinous bouquet is fruity, very intense and rather attractive and persistent. Nicely dry, well-balanced and velvety, it has a light almondy aftertaste.
