Vigna La Rosa

2010 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Fontanafredda Vigna La Rosa, a stunning 2010 Nebbiolo from the renowned Barolo region, captivates the senses with its rich, ruby-red hue. This full-bodied wine showcases a beautifully pronounced acidity that balances its flavor profile, making it delightfully mouthwatering. The tannins are notably structured, lending a robust backbone that promises great aging potential. The fruit intensity is prominent as it unfolds layers of dark cherry, plum, and hints of blackcurrant, intertwined with alluring notes of rose petals and earthy undertones. Being bone dry, this wine is a splendid representation of Barolo's elegance and complexity, inviting you to savor every delightful sip.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
