Product Notes

Fontanafredda Gavi di Gavi is a high-quality white wine made from the Cortese grape in the Piedmont region of Italy. This crisp and refreshing wine has a pale, straw-yellow color, and delicate aromas of white flowers, green apples and honeydew melon. On the palate, it is light-bodied with a subtle minerality and a vibrant acidity that balances out the fruit flavors of lemon, lime and pear. The finish is clean and refreshing, making it an ideal pairing with fresh seafood dishes, creamy risotto or light salads. This award-winning wine is perfect for those looking for a sophisticated and elegant white wine that is both delicious and versatile.

Tasting Notes

Gavi di Gavi is one of the most fashionable white wines Italy makes and this delicately floral example, exuding lemons, lilies of the valley and green apples, makes it easy to see why.

About the Winery

Fontanafredda

If there is one Italian wine label with a rich, royal history, it has got to be Fontanafredda. Started by the first King of Italy in 1858, Fontanafredda, is one of the richest and authentic Italian wine labels today. Vittorio Emanuele II purchased the Fontanafredda wine estate, and dedicated the same to his children, who were the Count of Fontanafredda and Mirafore. Within 8 years of buying the estate, the King bought his first Barola vineyard.

Within 1870, the Fontanafredda cellars witnessed an authentic vinification process. By 1878, the King’s son established another 300 hectares of vineyards that belonged to the local workers as part of his estate.  In the year 1931, the Italian wine industry was severely hit because of the serious disease that affected the vines, phylloxera. At that time, the ownership of the Fontanafredda Wine Estate was transferred to the Gancia Family. In the year 2015, organic farming techniques got introduced in the estate.

Today, the Fontanafredda Wine Estate is one of the most popular wine producers in the Barolo region. Close to 120 hectares of vineyards are dedicated to producing organic wines in the Narrant Village.

Some of the popular wines of this group are:

Barolo DOCG – Made from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated in the Serralunga d’Alba region

Barolo Riserva – This is one of the premium and rare wines from this label. It is also made from Nebbiolo grape varietals grown in the Serralunga d’Alba and Barola regions.

MGA Fontanareeda – These are produced in special vineyards with homonymous amphitheater facilities, in the municipality of Serraluna d’ Alba.

All the Fontanafredda wines have a style and elegance to them, that make them stand apart from the other wines in Italy. The finesse and the workmanship involved in these wines are unique, and you may not find the same quality in the other Italian wines.
