Fontanafredda

In the heart of Piedmont’s wine lands – on the gently rolling hills of the Langhe – a romantic road between castlets and vineyards leads to Fontanafredda, the winegrowing estate that stands on the land purchased by Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of Italy, in 1858. Fontanafredda is now a world of over 120 hecatres, with vineyards located in the municipalities of Serralunga d’Alba, Diano d’Alba, Farigliano, Alba, Rodello and Murisengo, at altitudes between 200 and 400 metres. At Fontanafredda, wine has to express the best of the character and personality conveyed by the interaction between the vine, the environment and man’s intervention. To guarantee the quality of the end product, every production phase, from the choice of which grape-variety to plant to the cultivation of the vineyard, from pruning through to harvest, from fermentation to ageing, is carried out with the utmost care and attention. Fontanafredda uses the controlled grassing technique in the vineyards and has abandoned the use of synthetic fertilisers and herbicides. From the winegrowing point of view, in 2010 it obtained certification as an “integrated farming estate”. In the cellar, the oak barrels and steel tanks housed in the majestic 19th century structures are used to age the noble red wines, while more recently built constructions, equipped with technologies that are essential in order to bring out the characteristics of white and sparkling wines, allow the finest production in this sense. Fontanafredda is the real institution of Barolo, capable of protecting its history and traditions, interpreting them according to a modern yet classic approach. The production of white, red and sparkling wines is structured into different lines which vary in terms of geographic origin and production dimension, with one or two exceptions. Fontanafredda is open to visitors every day of the year and offers tourists a rich variety of opportunities: tours of the cellars, which are considered to be among the most beautiful in the world, or a walk through the “Wood of Thoughts”, to take in the beauty of nature, surrounded by age-old trees, hazelnut groves and vineyards. For those who would like to spend a weekend relaxing, our Foresteria delle Vigne hotel offers accommodation, while Osteria Disguido is perfect for lunch or for tasting our wines. Those who really want to pamper themselves, can dine at Ristorante Guido in the Royal Villa. Last, but by no means least, is the Fondazione E. di Mirafiore, housed in a historical building on the estate, the main aim of which is to promote cultural growth via reading and the practice of good farming, but also to bring the idea of Resistance bang up to date, taking a modern look at its meaning and origin, in relation to new threats and opportunities for liberation.
