The magnificent Fontanafredda estate is nestled among the beautiful hills of the Langhe, in the heart of Piedmont. It once belonged to King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy, who gave it to Rosa Vercellana, the love of his life. A long-standing love story, kept alive by the passion for winemaking of Emanuele Guerreri, Count of Mirafiore, son of the king, and his "Bela Rusin" (as she was popularly known), a modern-minded entrepreneur who dedicated his life to wine. Fontanafredda preserves the flavors of this passionate story and emphasizes the drive for innovation and improvement that has always distinguished this superb label, a leader among leaders in the Langhe region. Passion for wine, for the land, and for tradition finds a truly tangible expression here.
Fermentation and maceration took place under controlled temperatures for ten to twelve days. This wine was then aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, followed by bottle aging for six to seven months.
The Marne Brune Nebbiolo d'Alba shines ruby red in the glass and is striking for its aroma. Spicy with hints of flowers, mushrooms, and smoky notes, with a touch of cherry fruit, vanilla, and bay leaf. A beautifully subtle yet powerful flavor with a real personality, nicely dry, cherry, vanilla, cream, and good tannins! Enjoy this dry red wine with main courses of meat, cold cuts, or medium-fat cheese.
