Fontanafredda

Fontanafredda
  © copyright © 2008 Sviluppo Piemonte Turismo

Fontanafredda lies at the heart of the Langhe, a world of hills dating back to ancient times which has always been a prime growing area for great wines, especially big, powerful reds. The vineyards are located at altitudes ranging between 200 and 400 metres, on mostly gently-contoured hillsides with rounded crests.

The composition of the mainly calcareous soil can vary over a distance of even just a few dozen metres: looser in places, with up to 30% of sand; more compact in others, with a higher content of silt, and especially clay. The climatic pattern is typically continental, with most of the rainfall in spring and autumn; the great variations that occur from year to year, however, are what produce extraordinary differences between the vintages.
