Description
The meeting of the Pre-Alps and the Tanaro river over 2,000,000 years ago gave birth to the elegant hills of the Roero. Territories unique for their sandstone and sand composition, which give the white wines a distinct minerality. The Roero Arneis Biological Val di Tana, is a pure expression of this place.

Like all beautiful things, Fontanafredda originates from a love story between the first King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II, and Rosa Vercellana.
Producers of Barolo and sumptuous wines of the Langhe, it was the scene of many firsts: they were the first Barolo to go overseas, the first to produce the first Classic Method in 1959, which was to be the forerunner of Alta Langa.
The founding principle of the winery is the concept of community.
Since 2018, Fontanafredda has been cultivating 120 organically certified hectares that are the setting for Italy's first Storytelling Village ('Villaggio Narrante'), which is still home to 12 families of workers who make the village an authentic village, alive and productive.
Fontanafredda is also hospitality, a meeting place where everyone is welcome thanks to its 4-star hospitality.
Today, the company preserves intact the testimonies of its noble past - the hunting lodge, the village, the extensive cellars, the vineyards - but continues to renew itself and experiment, perfecting what nature and history have handed down. For this reason, in the Langhe, where vines and wine bind generations to each other and shape the landscape, Fontanafredda is an essential reference point. The expression of a wine culture that comes from the earth, from the vineyard, and is refined through the work and creativity of people.
In 2021, the Alta Langa DOCG Contessa Rosa Rosé 2014 was named 'Best Sparkling Wine in the World' according to Tastingbook 2021.
In 2022 the BAROLO SERRALUNGA 2018 entered the TOP100 of WINE SPECTATOR in 78th place. Read more

| Soil composition | Sandy soils, rich in arenaceous, calcareous, yellowish marls. |
| Harvest | The grapes are delivered in small 20 kg crates with holes to help aerate them. |
| Wine making | The grapes are immediately soft-pressed to avoid crushing the skins, and the must obtained is stored in steel vats at a temperature of around 8 0 °C to allow it to decant statically and then separate the coarser parts. After about 24 hours, the must is decanted and brought to a temperature of 16 8 °C; at this point, within a few hours, alcoholic fermentation is naturally triggered, which is conducted by indigenous yeasts. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is decanted and stored at a temperature of 5-6 °C. |
| Aging | In stainless steel on its own fine lees periodically stirred until the following spring, after which the wine is bottled and after a couple of months makes its entrance onto the market. |
