Proprietà in Fontanafredda is a Barolo DOCG from Fontanafredda, produced exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grown in the estate’s own Proprietà in Fontanafredda MGA, a monopole vineyard entirely surrounding the historic winery in Serralunga d’Alba. This privileged site clearly expresses the structured, austere character typical of Serralunga, shaped by limestone–clay soils and a classic Barolo microclimate.
Vinification involves extended maceration, followed by aging in a combination of medium and large oak casks and additional bottle maturation before release. Aromatically, the wine shows dried cherry, red berry fruit, and rose petal, layered with notes of spice, resin, camphor, and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is firm, precise, and well-balanced, with pronounced yet finely integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, persistent finish. Proprietà in Fontanafredda represents a classical, terroir-driven interpretation of Barolo, combining tradition, site identity, and modern enological precision.
