The Barolo DOCG 1982 from Fontanafredda is a prestigious wine with a rich history. Here are some details about this extraordinary wine: Grapes: Nebbiolo Production Area: Serralunga d’Alba Soil Type: High content of limestone and grey marl alternating with sand Exposure and Altitude: South/southwest at 300-400 meters above sea level Training System: Guyot with 4,400-5,000 plants per hectare Alcohol Content: 13.5% vol Serving Temperature: 18-20°C Bottle Size: 0.75 L The vinification process is traditional: medium-long fermentation (15 days) in stainless steel vats with a floating cap at a controlled temperature (30-31°C). The must then remains in contact with the skins for an additional 15 days to optimize the extraction of polyphenolic substances. This Barolo pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes of red meat and medium to mature cheeses. It’s also a wine well-suited for contemplation.
