Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga D’Alba 75cl

Description

Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga d’Alba 75cl is a prestigious Italian red wine from Fontanafredda, one of the historic producers of Barolo and the great wines of the Langhe. The estate is based in Serralunga d’Alba and traces its origins back to 1858, when it was born from the story of Italy’s first king, Vittorio Emanuele II, and Rosa Vercellana.

This wine is made from Nebbiolo, the noble grape of Barolo, and expresses the powerful character of Serralunga d’Alba with Fontanafredda’s more elegant house style. Fontanafredda describes its Serralunga Barolo as floral, balsamic, vibrant and crisp, with strong ageing potential.

Expect a structured and refined Barolo with red cherry, dried rose, plum, liquorice, spice, earthy notes, balsamic freshness and firm tannins. It is a serious food wine, ideal for roasted meats, game, truffle dishes, mature cheeses and slow-cooked Italian cuisine.

Collector’s Note

Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga d’Alba 75cl has strong collector and cellar appeal because it combines Barolo DOCG status, Nebbiolo, Serralunga d’Alba origin and a historic producer name. It is not mainly collectible because of a numbered bottle count, but because of its appellation, ageing potential and classic Piedmont identity.

This bottle is especially interesting because Fontanafredda notes that Barolo Serralunga d’Alba was first produced as a local selection in 1988, and later changed after 30 years into the newer Renaissance identity. Older label versions, like the one shown in your photo, therefore carry extra appeal for customers who enjoy previous label designs and earlier Fontanafredda presentations.
