2020 Fontanafredda Pradalupo Roero Arneis DOCG

Fontanafredda is more than a winery; it's a Langhe legend. Since 1858, they've been putting Piedmont's Barolo on the world map. Led by the visionary Oscar Farinetti, they've built a wine empire that truly reflects the heart and soul of the region.

Fontanafredda’s roots trace back to 1858, born from the legendary love story between King Vittorio Emanuele II and Rosa Vercellana. Today, this heritage is celebrated through their exceptional wines, crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.

Fontanafredda proudly cultivates 290 acres of organic vineyards, spanning the diverse terroirs of Serralunga d’Alba, Barolo, and beyond. This dedication to organic farming not only honors the land but also produces wines of unparalleled purity and expression.

Fontanafredda's wines are renowned worldwide, with accolades that highlight their exceptional quality. The Barolo La Rosa 2008 was named one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine Spectator in 2013. Continuing this tradition of excellence, the first Barolo at M.G.A. Fontanafredda in 2017 also garnered significant acclaim, reaffirming their place at the pinnacle of winemaking. Fontanafredda was also honoured as the "European Cellar of the Year" by Wine Spectator.Their dedication to sustainability, quality, and community has established them as a beacon of excellence in the world of wine.

Their massive estate in Serralunga d'Alba is a wine lover's paradise. This is the biggest single vineyard estate in the whole Langhe! They grow their grapes across different towns, all with that perfect blend of sun and soil. And since 2018, they've been leading the pack as Piedmont's largest organic winery.

Fun fact: The word Arneis means "little rascal" in the local Piedmontese, due to the difficulty of growing the varietal and producing quality wine in the past.Those days are long gone, and Arneis is currently producing some of the most interesting and fun white wines in Piedmont.

100% Arneis. Exotic fruits, mature pears, hawthorn and acacia honey on the nose. The palate offers warmth, velvet, and with balanced acidity. Fresh and lingering. Excellent as an aperitif, great for starters and fish and shellfish dishes.

Bright green-yellow with gold shimmer. Ripe nectarine and peach on the nose, then melon and a hint of rock candy on the second whiff. Rich palate entry, appears full, delicate melting accompanies the drink, appears balanced and is also very fruity and pleasing in the finale, well done. ~90 Falftasff

Aromas of white stone fruit, hay and hawthorn form the delicate, alluring nose. Linear and savory, the bright palate delivers ripe pear, yellow apple, saline and citrus alongside fresh acidity. It closes on a hazelnut note.~90 Wine Enthusiast
