Fontanafredda Diano d'Alba La Lepre Bio 2020
We are used to never being over the top, but sometimes whimsical and eccentric wines are born: the Fuoriclasse. The name 'La Lepre' (the hare), is due precisely to the little animals that populate these lands. For us, it is the wine of the Langhe tradition, famous for everyday consumption, which here expresses itself in all its richness and fullness of flavour, maintaining the typical floral character of the grape variety.

Colour

Deep ruby-red with violet highlights.

Bouquet

The fine, fruity bouquet has very persistent, clear-cut overtones of blackberries and raspberries melted with overtones of plums and black cherries.

Flavour

The taste is pleasantly dry, and its strong almondy aftertaste brings out its fullness and velvety stuffing with slight tannins, making for a highly agreeable, fine balance.

Pairing

It is excellent served with hot starters, pasta dishes, vegetables and not over-elaborate meats.
