Product Notes

Indulge your senses in the Fontanafredda Briccotondo Dolcetto, an enchanting Italian red wine bursting with character. Hailing from the esteemed Piedmont region, this wine is mostly savoured for its robust dark fruit flavours and satisfyingly dry finish. The bouquet starts with indulgent dark cherry scents, mingling perfectly with hints of liquorice and spices. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a velvety texture and pronounced tannins. Bursting with plum, blackberry, and juicy red cherry sensations, it concludes with a lingering, liquorice-tinged aftertaste. This is an elegantly structured, expressive wine, perfect for pairing with many Italian dishes. To put it simply, every sip is a delightful experience.

Tasting Notes

Charming wine made from Piedmont's third red grape (after more prestigious and expensive, Nebbiolo and Barbera), this is packed with dark fruit and headily perfumed with almonds and spice.
