Fontanafredda

Piemonte The estate of Fontanafredda has come a long way since the days when it was the hunting lodge to the late King Emmanuel and the home to his mistress the Bella Rosa Rosin. Danilo Drocco took over the winemaking reins over five years ago and the results have revolutionised the estate. New labels and a more confident presentation in the wines, reflect not only the current tastes, but also the character of the wonderful area they hail from. The wines of the Fontanafredda estate are now presented in two different ranges, Le Selezioni and Tenimenti. The Selezioni wines are effectively Fontanafredda’s classic wines, sourced from the finest vineyard sites in Piemonte, they are the cornerstone of the Fontanafredda portfolio and remain true to the traditional winemaking styles of this famous region. The Tenimenti range of wines encapsulate the new dynamic face of this historic winery, for whilst they retain the best attributes of the region, they also marry together more modern winemaking practices, for example more new oak and micro oxygenation to help fix colour and increase primary fruit flavours. We also have access to Fontanafredda's Historic Vintages of Barolo's which date back to the 1950s. If you would like further information on the availability of these wines please Contact Us and we will be happy to provide you with up to date information. Fontanafredda have a very good website containing information on the comapny's history, the Selezioni and Tenimenti range of wines and much more. Visit them here: Fontanafredda Wines
