Tasting notes

Profumo

Perfume

Very fine and elegant scent. Predominant is the floral part - we can find the classic violet with a slightly macerated evolution and at the end a delicate and balsamic spice.

Colore

Color

Intense and luminous red color with shades ranging from ruby to garnet.

Gusto

Taste

Full in the mouth and ample thanks to its silky tannins. A fine and elegant wine reminiscent of a young Barolo.

Serve at:

14 -16 °C

Longevity:

05 - 10 years

1 hour

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1995
  • Oenologist: Michele Fumero Fontana
  • Bottles produced: 60.000
  • Hectares: 10
Livia inherited the passion for viticulture from her father Ettore and she in her turn transmits with love and enthusiasm the values of those who preceded her in these vineyards. After more than two hundred years, the blood and fiber of the company are still united and today carried forward by the eighth generation while maintaining the history of the family’s objectives made with seriousness, commitment and love of the earth.

The Livia Fontana winery is a rare case in which business and family blend together blurring the boundaries of both, becoming an example of how the convergence of objectives makes the family united and the company successful. The winery is managed by Livia Fontana and her two sons, Michele and Lorenzo, who have been preceded by seven generations of the Fontana family. Each with their own roles brings energy, enthusiasm, competence and passion. The result is excellent wines that are appreciated throughout the world for the way in which tradition and new technologies merge in products of very high quality.

The wine has a good tannin with an enveloping nuance of aromas that allow to combine it with aromaticity and succulence balanced dishes such as: snail soup; Milanese risotto with ossobuco; gray Carmagnola’s rabbit with pepper cream; barbecue lamb chops.
