Product Notes

Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera Piemonte DOC wine is a quintessential product from Italy's Piedmont region. This red wine is sensuously captivating with its ruby-red colour and rich taste proffering pronounced notes of red fruits and spices. It is crafted from the Barbera grape, producing a well-rounded, full-bodied finish. The distinctive character of this wine blends harmoniously with its relatively high acidity and dark fruitiness, whispering secrets of a refined palate. An excellent pairing with savoury dishes and meat courses, the wine offers an aromatic experience that is both complex and wonderfully elegant. Perfect for the discerning wine lover.

Tasting Notes

Rustic and spicy nose: strawberries and raspberries, but growing in a farmyard, not a garden, darkening in the mouth into blackberry and Morello cherry, plus a lick of liquorice.
