The Fontanafredda Estate, nestled in the lush hills of Asti in Italy, is an enchanting sanctuary for wine lovers around the world. Founded in 1878 by King Vittorio Emanuele II, the estate spans over 100 hectares of verdant vineyards, producing some of the most respected Italian wines. Once a private hunting ground, the estate is a true haven of nature, offering breathtaking panoramas of hilly slopes rich in dense vineyards and luxurious woods. The grapes used to produce the wines are carefully cultivated in this picturesque setting, benefiting from an idyllic climate that ensures their optimum growth. The Fontanafredda Estate is especially renowned for its Barolo, an iconic wine from the Piedmont region that is recognized worldwide for its exceptional quality. Made from the nebbiolo grape, an indigenous varietal, this wine woos with its deep ruby color, its complex bouquet of ripe fruit, spices, and tobacco, and its perfect balance between acidity and tannins. Aside from the Barolo, the estate produces a varied range of wines, from full-bodied reds to elegant and fruity whites, all from traditional varietals of the region. This includes the Barbaresco, the Barbera d'Alba, the Dolcetto d'Alba, and the Moscato d'Asti, to name just a few. When visiting the Fontanafredda Estate, guests have the opportunity to discover the region's wine heritage, through guided tours of the vineyards and historic cellar, wine tastings and even cooking classes for an immersive culinary experience.
