Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga D'Alba 2016
Serralunga, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThis label first appeared in 1988, celebrating the terroir of Serralunga and the elegance of the Fontanafredda. You feel it in this wine that is a window into an outstanding vintage that will age with ease for a decade and beyond. Look for a classic garnet red colour and aromas of roses and spice with a light dusting of vanilla. It is dry and round on the palate and just beginning to open up, offering leather, spice and wild cherry notes. Full-bodied and long, it finishes with firm but manageable tannins. Honest and affordable.Tasted: 03 February 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $49.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
