Product Notes

The Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera Piemonte DOC wine is a delicately complex Italian wine hailing from the prestigious region of Piedmont. Displaying deep, ruby red hues, its bouquet boasts vibrant notes of raspberry and blackberry, finished with a hint of vanilla. Delighting the palate with an excellent balance of fruit, acidity, and subtle tannins, this medium-bodied barbera lingers with a pleasantly spicy aftertaste. Known for its harmonious and lingering flavour, it pairs beautifully with savoury dishes, pasta and mature cheeses. The Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera holds a signature expression of Piedmont’s beautiful landscape in every drop.

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.
