Fontanafredda Proprietà in Fontanafredda Barolo 2014

Made in the estate’s eponymously named vineyard site, this fragrant Barolo boasts alluring aromas of iris, violet and woodland berry. Supple and savory, the graceful, inviting palate doles out raspberry compote, Marasca cherry, star anise and cinnamon alongside lithe tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance. It’s already almost accessible but also offers good mid-term aging. Drink 2020-2026. Score – 92. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 1, 2018)
