Fontanafredda Brioccotondo Barbera Piemonte DOC
Fontanafredda produces wines of the highest caliber, thanks to the respect of the land, passion for vinicultural tradition, and use of innovative technology. Located in the heart of Le Langhe, a hilly wine region in the northern region of Piemonte, Fontanafredda and is spread over 250 acres of rugged terrain in the villages of Serralunga d’Alba, Barolo, and Diano d’Alba.
This is a ruby-red wine with purple highlights. The nose is packed with black fruit, especially blackberries and plums, with slight spicy overtones hinting at black pepper and cinnamon. Sweet, soft tannins come together in a closely-woven texture that merges with the fruit, while a crisp fresheness provides a long, tasty finish. This wine is at its best for 3-4 years following the harvest.
The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for around 6-7 days at a temperature of 23-25 °C. During this time, the must is pumped over the cap in order to optimize the extraction of the tannins and colour. As soon as the alcoholic fermentation has ended, the wine is racket into concrete tanks for the malolactic fermentation, which is completed by December.
A perfect match for starters, cured meats and fresh and medium mature cheeses.
