My favorite wine among Fontanafredda's new releases is the 2011 Barolo La Rosa. This beautiful expression shows a pretty level of depth and dimension with bright accents of blue flower and forest berry in center stage. The wine adopts a feminine and delicate approach with important emphasis on the floral components that come so naturally to the appropriately-named Barolo La Rosa. Crisp acidity gives the wine tonic, crunchy edges that successfully complete this classic portrait of Nebbiolo.

The supple texture plays the ideal foil for cherry, raspberry, floral and spice flavors in this elegant, detailed red. The structure emerges as this unfolds, with white pepper and chalk elements lingering on the aftertaste. Best from 2018 through 2030. 2,000 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
