100% Nebbiolo. A Barolo with a bright, ruby red color, with bright garnet reflections, which has an intriguing bouquet to the nose and recalls withered rose and underwood. The intense fragrance leaves room for spicier, more complex and more elegant hints. In the mouth it’s silky, but at the same time, tense, rotund and vibrant. An aroma of small red fruit, as well as a hint of mint. The tannin is young and energetic, and it expresses all its aging potential, which is typical of a great Barolo.

A Barolo that shows black truffles, wet earth, dried rose petals, cedar and orange rind. Full body, a tightly knit tannin structure, vivid acidity and a grainy finish. Stylish. ~92 James Suckling

Iris, rose, forest floor and menthol aromas come to the forefront on this fragrant red. On the taut linear palate, bright acidity and refined tannins balance juicy sour cherry, red raspberry and star anise. ~91 Wine Enthusiast

This bottling has a long track record and is aged traditionally. The nose is juicy and upfront, with stylish red fruits. A sleek attack leads into a silky but concentrated palate, with ripe tannins and good weight of fruit. It's solid but not too extracted, with a firm mid-palate and no lack of structure. It's a touch fluid on the finish, but not faded or dilute. Quite long. Drinking Window 2019 - 2032 ~91 Decanter

This bottling with Fontanafredda’s classic striped label includes fruit from a number of crus in Serralunga d’Alba. Brisk acidity dominates at first, then the wine fleshes out to reveal bright cherry flavors edged in orange peel and Darjeeling tea. Its moderate price tag makes the wine a good candidate to pour by the glass. ~90 Wine & Spirits
