Wooden box Fontanafredda with Barolo, Barbera Raimonda and Arneis Pradalupo

The striped labels of the Fontanafredda estate are inspired by the non-historical buildings of the village, painted with stripes. The entire line is a journey through the aromas and flavors of the Piedmont region. This box contains the three most representative: Barolo, Barbera d'Alba and Roero Arneis.

Barolo is obtained from Nebbiolo grapes harvested in the Serralunga d'Alba cru. The vinification with aging for 12 months in Allier oak barriques and another 12 months in large barrels gives a wine with a ruby red color with garnet reflections, an intense and defined nose, in which sensations of vanilla, spices and dried rose alternate with scents of the undergrowth. In the mouth it is dry, full and soft, velvety and persistent, to be paired with important red meat dishes and long-aged cheeses, or even as a meditation wine.

Barbera d'Alba Raimonda comes from the Langa of Alba, from soils rich in clayey and calcareous marl. After a total refinement of 12 months that takes place partly in large French and Slavonian oak barrels, partly in small French oak barrels, it acquires an intense ruby color in the glass that tends towards garnet with evolution. On the nose it presents a characteristic, floral and fruity aroma, with light hints of wood and vanilla to crown it all. On the palate it is broad and persistent, pleasantly velvety, to be served with important first courses, red meats and cheeses.

The Arneis Pradalupo , the only white of the trio, is a wine of extreme care, obtained from free-run must made up of a part derived from soft pressing and the remainder from whole grape pressing, subjected to a refinement of 4-5 months on the fine lees at low temperature. The color is straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose recalls exotic fruit, ripe pear, hawthorn and acacia honey. The sip is enveloping and soft, fresh and savoury in the aftertaste. Excellent to serve chilled as an aperitif or to pair with fish appetizers and light first courses.
