"The La Rosa vineyard, the most famous location owned by the Tenementi Fontanafredda, produces a long-lived Barolo with an outstanding structure. The bouquet is intense and shows clear notes of withered rose, violet, tobacco, cassis berries and spices. On the palate, the wine is firm and velvety, with a rich acid scent and intense aromas of berries, plums and black tea. The tannins are densely woven, the persistent finish tastes wonderful spicy notes." James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com |
