The vineyards stretch at an altitude between two hundred and three hundred metres above sea level, benefiting from an east-west exposure. The uniqueness of the terroir lies in the \u003cstrong\u003esandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in arenaceous and calcareous marl, which give the wine its unmistakable mineral character. Fontanafredda tends its vines following \u003cstrong\u003esustainable viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e principles, enhancing the natural pedoclimatic characteristics to ensure a slender structure and \u003cstrong\u003epersistent freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest involves a careful selection of the bunches, picked into crates to preserve their integrity. In the winery, a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e is carried out to extract only the finest part of the must, followed by static decantation at low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to the use of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine matures in steel in contact with its fine lees, enriched by \u003cstrong\u003eregular bâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e which gives greater roundness and complexity. The entire process follows precise standards, making it fully compatible with a vegan diet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1878 in Serralunga d’Alba, the Fontanafredda winery encapsulates the ancient Piedmontese heritage in this elegant white wine.
