Fontanafredda Vigna La Rosa Barolo 2011, 750ml

Country: Italy, Piedmont

Grape Varietal: Nebbiolo

Tasting Notes:
The single-vineyard Barolos are produced from the most painstaking selections carried out in vineyards which tradition has preserved over time as emblems of exemplary quality.

"La Rosa" represents an interpretation of Barolo of particular importance: even though it is the soil and the sun - or what is called in short microclimate - which commands man and guides his technical decisions, and not vice versa. Ruby highlights still show on its deep garnet red color, while its intense, clear-cut nose hints at spicy aromas and ripe fruit. Well balanced tannins for a young Barolo. Classic. "La Rosa” expresses the qualities of the Barolos grown in Serralunga d'Alba at their best, with a marked - almost feminine - concession to grace and softness in its flavour and bouquet. 

Food pairing:
Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses.

Alcohol Content: 13.5%
