WINE DESCRIPTION
Fontanafredda Ebbio Langhe Nebbiolo is a red wine produced by Fontanafredda, a renowned winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Langhe appellation, known for its ideal vineyard features such as the hilly terrain and the unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Nebbiolo, with a ruby red color, aromas of red fruits and spices, and a full-bodied, elegant palate with firm tannins and a long finish. Perfect for pairing with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses, the wine will benefit from a few years of aging for tannins to soften.
