Here, they are pressed and gently descaled to preserve only the finest aromas from the skins and outer part of the grape. Fermentation takes place in thermo-conditioned tanks at a controlled temperature. Skin maceration lasts ten days, with the fermenting juice regularly recycled from the bottom to the top of the tank to gently integrate the tannins and achieve the desired color. Once fermentation is complete, the grape's natural sugars are completely converted into alcohol. The wine is then racked in cement tanks lined with fiberglass and insulated with cork, where it rests at a post-fermentation temperature of approximately twenty-two degrees Celsius. This temperature triggers a natural process called malolactic fermentation, which transforms the harsh malic acid into a softer lactic acid, a process that takes approximately two months. The wine is aged for two years, partly in Slavonian oak barrels and partly in small, moderately toasted French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is blended in traditional large oak barrels and aged for another twelve months before being released.

This special wine is made from a select selection of Muscat grapes, sourced from the Monucco hills in S. Stefano. The grapes come from very old vines of around forty years old, which have a low yield. This creates powerful wines with abundant aroma and flavor.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The love story of Fontanafredda\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFontanafredda is one of the historic wineries in the Langhe region of Italy. It is a major producer of Barolo and sparkling wines. Its official history begins in 1858. King Vittorio Emmanuele purchased the estate in the Fontanafredda district for his lover, who would later become his wife, and their children. To ensure social security, he granted them the noble title of Count of Mirafiore, a traditional title in Turin. His son, Count Emanuele di Mirafiore, founded the winery around 1870 and began marketing the wines of Casa E. di Mirafiore. However, Fontanafredda was more than just a winery: Emmanuele built workers' apartments and a school.\n\n The Mirafiore family's wine story sadly ended when it was sold to a bank during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today, 70 years later, it belongs once again to the true Piedmontese, Messrs. Baffigo and Farinetti.\n\n\n \nAfter manual harvesting, some of the grapes are immediately pressed, while the rest are destemmed and briefly macerated. The grapes are then gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Fontanafredda Moncucco Moscato d'Asti taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n This white wine is straw yellow with a golden sheen in the glass. It has a broad aroma, with an intense bouquet, revealing notes of roses, flowers, grapes, acacia and lime, citrus fruit, lily of the valley, and even apples. This Moncucco has a beautiful flavor: very pleasantly muscat-like, grapey, not too sweet, slightly sparkling, soft and effervescent, balanced and elegant, with a fresh acidity on the finish.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775772201039,"sku":"7744","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/moncucco-moscato-d-asti-fontanafredda_7744.webp?v=1770110605"},{"product_id":"fontanafredda-papagena-barbera-dalba","title":"Fontanafredda Papagena Barbera d'Alba","description":"What a magnificent wine, with all the wonderful qualities the Barbera grape has to offer!

In November 2017, Fontanafredda was named European Winery of the Year by the American magazine Wine Enthusiast—a well-deserved award!\n\n\n \nThe grapes come from the vineyards around the town of Alba.

Fermentation of this Barbera grape variety takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with regular circulation of the must. This ensures better extraction of the tannins and color. The Papagena was then placed in French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation took place.
