{"product_id":"freisa-fontanafredda-1976","title":"Freisa Fontanafredda 1976","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1976 Freisa from the historic producer Fontanafredda, classified as a Vino da Tavola del Piemonte. Vinified and bottled at the estate's cellars in Serralunga d'Alba, this red wine is presented in a 750ml bottle with an alcohol content of 11.5%. It is crafted from Freisa, a traditional Piedmontese grape variety closely related to Nebbiolo, which is typically cultivated in areas such as Asti, Chieri, and across the wider Piedmont region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFontanafredda boasts an origin story resembling a historical drama. The estate was founded in 1858 by King Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy's first king after the unification, as a gift for his mistress and eventual wife, Rosa Vercellana, affectionately known as 'Bella Rosin'. Their son, Emanuele Alberto, Count of Mirafiore, further developed the winery and released the first Barolo label from the property with the 1878 vintage. Following a period of ownership by the Monte dei Paschi di Siena bank starting in 1931, the estate was purchased in 2008 by Oscar Farinetti and Luca Baffigo, who have since transitioned it into the largest certified organic winery in Piedmont. The estate's characteristic buildings, adorned with brown and ochre stripes, proudly display the Savoy colors as a visible reminder of its royal heritage. Fontanafredda holds a unique status in the area, as the entire estate constitutes its own MGA and monopole cru. With 120 hectares of vineyards within a 300-hectare property, it stands as the largest contiguous winery in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Piedmont, a prestigious wine region in northwestern Italy surrounded by the Alps. The name literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountain.\" The region is renowned for its dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion, where autumn mornings are often blanketed in thick fog. This terroir-focused area is characterized by passionate winemaking and is globally recognized for its deep connection to local gastronomy, including the exclusive white truffles of Alba and local hazelnuts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fontanafredda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57237628256582,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-889_942b741c-6674-4541-a755-6d08280f7b20.jpg?v=1788258072","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/freisa-fontanafredda-1976","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
