Andrea Curatolo

Barolo Doc
Producer: Fontanafredda
Wine: red
Year: 1956
Grape varieties: Nebbiolo
Aging: 3 years in barrel
1956 was a fairly good year, Fontanafredda, strong in tradition, nevertheless made an excellent Barolo: light ruby as it was vinified at the time, intense aromas, characteristic of dried violet. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, over the years it becomes a harmonious wine. Count Emanuele Alberto di Mirafiori had turned Barolo into a myth.
