Description
Since 1858, the Fontanafredda Estate & Winery has been instrumental to the growth and international awareness of Barolo, while championing sustainability and community engagement in the Langhe region of Piedmont. Under the lead of visionary entrepreneur, Oscar Farinetti, Fontanafredda has built a portfolio of wines that express the depth and diversity of the Langhe, produced from grapes that are farmed from organic and sustainably managed vineyards. Since the 2018 harvest, Fontanafredda is the largest certified organic winery in Piedmont.
The Many Firsts of Barolo’s Fontanafredda Wines
As soon as the grapes reach the winery, they are de-stemmed and pressed, then cold-macerated for 12 hours at a temperature of 46°F. At the end of the maceration, the grapes are softly squeezed and the must, after a 24-hour rest in the tank, is decanted to separate the coarser deposits. Fermentation takes place inside steel vats for about 30 days at temperatures between 59°–62°F. It is bottled without ageing
