Producer

Fontanafredda, established in 1858 by King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy, began as a gift to his beloved Rosa Vercellana, known as "La Bela Rusin." Located in Serralunga d'Alba, Piedmont, the estate spans approximately 120 hectares and is renowned for its Barolo wines. In 1964, Fontanafredda produced the first single-vineyard Barolo, Vigna La Rosa, marking a significant milestone in winemaking. Embracing sustainability, the winery transitioned to organic farming, becoming the largest certified organic winery in Piedmont by 2018. In 2017, Wine Enthusiast honored Fontanafredda as "European Winery of the Year," recognizing its commitment to quality and innovation.
