WINE DESCRIPTION

Fontanafredda Raimonda Barbera d'Alba is a premium red wine produced by Fontanafredda, a renowned winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in the Alba appellation, known for its ideal vineyard features such as the hilly terrain and the calcareous soil. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for several months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex red with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of dark fruit and spices, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Italian red wine offers delightful aromas of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by subtle notes of leather, smoke, and wet earth.On the palate, this full-bodied Barbera is juicy and fruit-forward, with a nice balance of acidity and tannins, as well as refreshing hints of tobacco and herbs on the long, pleasing finish. Enjoy this wine now, or cellar for a few years for further complexity.
