      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: The 2010 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba opens to a darkly saturated color and shows pretty highlight of wild cherry, cassis, black truffle, cola and menthol herb. This is the estate’s most popular wine with an annual production of 200,000 bottles. The wine is extremely focused and bright with the heft and structure that is common to Serralunga d’Alba. Some 80% of the fruit comes from the Fontanafredda estate and the other 20% is purchased off-site.
      • James Suckling: A firm, delicately fruit wine with blackberry, cedar and nutmeg character. Medium body, fine tannins and a dusty-textured finish.

      Producer Information

      Fontanafredda is an historic estate in the commune of the same name in Piedmont of northwest Italy. It has long been regarded as one of the great producers of the region, and has a large range of wines including single-vineyard Barolos, Barbaresco, Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba and Moscato d'Asti. The estate was established in 1858 when the land was purchased by King Vittorio Emanuele II of Sardinia (later the first king of Italy) for Rosa Vercellana, a drum major's daughter with whom he had fallen in love. Rosa was made Countess of Mirafiori and Fontanafredda a year later. The wine business started in 1878 under her management and that of the king's son Emanuele Guerrieri, the Count of Mirafiore. The estate vineyards total 85 hectares (210 acres), and are located on a variety of soils in Serralunga d'Alba, Diano d'Alba, Barolo and Murisengo. They are mostly planted to Nebbiolo along with Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato. Fontanafredda's winery comprises 19th Century cellars with large oak casks and stainless steel vats dedicated to red wine production, and newer buildings with modern facilities for white and sparkling wines. The wine portfolio is particularly large and extensive but is headed by single-vineyard Barolo DOCG Riserva wines. Sourced from estate vineyards, these wines are matured for approximately three years in barriques and then another 12 months in bottle prior to release. The house produces wines under a range of other well-known Piedmont appellations as well as specialty Grappa wines.
