Fontanafredda

Alta Langa Contessa Rosa e Barolo Vigna La Rosa DOCG 2016

Contessa Rosa represents the true spirit of Fontanafredadda: named after Countess Rosa Vercellana, known as “Bela Rusin”, this sparkling wine, made from grapes grown at high altitudes, expresses the union of aromatic freshness and complexity of the great wine Barolo. A new method has been undertaken for the creation of this cuvée, using an expedition liqueur with 1967 Barolo. The heart of the Fontanafredda M.G.A. is home to Fontanafredda’s most representative and historical vineyard. Planted by request of Rosa Vercellana, after whom it is named, it is no mere coincidence that this strip of land, rich in sand, limestone and the characteristic blue marl of Serralunga, is filled with floral scents reminiscent of roses. A deep, long and warm Barolo.
