The Fontanafredda 2004 Barolo DOCG is a wine masterpiece that embodies the essence of the Piedmontese winemaking tradition. Hailing from the historic estate of Serralunga d’Alba, this rich and complex wine reflects the uniqueness of the terroir of the Italian Burgundy, where Nebbiolo grapes thrive and transform under the generous sun of the Langhe. The 2004 vintage stands out for its optimal maturation, giving this Barolo an extraordinary aromatic bouquet.
On the nose, elegant notes of withered rose, dark cherry, and plum unfold, accompanied by balsamic hints of eucalyptus and tobacco, evoking a sensation of sensory depth. After a moment, complex undertones of spices, leather, and a slight minerality emerge, making the nose inviting and intriguing. On the palate, this Barolo reveals itself as opulent, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and persistence to a sip abundant in ripe red fruits, cocoa, and a delicate smoky note. The wine's freshness maintains a perfect balance, promising incredible aging potential.
Ideal to pair with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as Barolo braised beef or a platter of aged cheeses, this wine is a true companion for special occasions. With the Fontanafredda 2004 Barolo DOCG, every sip becomes a journey into the history and culture of a renowned wine region, an experience that delights and satisfies the palates of the most discerning connoisseurs.
