| Product name | Moscato d'Asti Moncucco 2022 |
| Color | Beautiful straw yellow with golden hues. |
| Perfume | Explosion of aromas reminiscent with great intensity of the grapes from which the wine originates. In particular, hints of ripe pear, white peach, honey, robinia, lime and orange blossom, sage and lemon emerge. |
| Taste | In the mouth, density appears the predominant element and infuses a feeling of fullness that balances the acidic freshness and residual petillant from the fermentation. Of very long persistence, it brings to mind distinctly the light and warmth of the bunch of ripe Muscat just picked. |
| Pairings | Very enjoyable on its own, it is also a perfect match for many types of dessert, including elaborate sweets. |

Fontanafredda is located in the Langhe (Piedmont), in the heart of Barolo production, in Serralunga d'Alba.
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

| Wine making | The harvested grapes are partly fed directly into the presses and partly, after being destemmed, are sent to a thermo-conditioned tank, where they rest for about 12 hours at a temperature of 5 °C, undergoing a brief cryomaceration. A very gentle pressing programme allows only the free-run juice to be extracted from the grapes, which is left to decant cold, separating it from the solid part present in the must. Fermentation starts when the temperature reaches 18 °C and is stopped when 3 degrees alcohol is reached. |
