The history of Fontanafredda is a noble one. It began in 1858, when Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of Italy, purchased the Fontanafredda estate—a former hunting preserve—as a country home. Soon thereafter, he began to produce fine red wines from indigenous grape varieties dolcetto, barbera, nebbiolo and moscato. Since then, Fontanafredda Estate & Winery, located in the heart of Piedmont's Langhe region, has been a benchmark for wines that deftly balance depth and elegance.
