{"product_id":"langhe-nebbiolo-fontanafredda-2005","title":"Langhe Fontanafredda 2005","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2005 Langhe Fontanafredda is a red wine crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, originating from the prestigious Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Piedmont, which translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is bordered by the Alps and is globally recognized for its profound focus on terroir. The wine specifically hails from the Langhe area around Alba, a prominent district characterized by dramatic, steep hills. During autumn, these hills are frequently enveloped in a thick morning fog that protects the vineyards and ensures a long, optimal ripening period for the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNebbiolo is a premier Italian grape variety renowned for producing elegant wines with significant structure, high acidity, firm tannins, and notable complexity. It is deeply rooted in Piedmont, particularly in areas like Barolo and Barbaresco. For this Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) wine, the production process involves aging the wine for two to three months in wooden barrels before it is bottled. The finished wine has an alcohol content of 13.5% and a residual sugar level of 2.5 grams per liter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFontanafredda boasts a history that reads like 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, known as 'Bella Rosin'. Their son, Emanuele Alberto, Count of Mirafiore, further developed the estate and released its first Barolo label with the 1878 vintage. The winery's distinctive buildings, adorned with brown and ochre stripes, proudly display the Savoy colors as a visible reminder of its royal origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Fontanafredda holds a unique status in the region. The entire estate constitutes its own MGA and monopole-cru, a rarity in an appellation where most crus are divided among numerous owners. With 120 hectares of vineyards set within a larger estate of over 300 hectares, it is Italy's largest contiguous winery. Since 2008, under the ownership of Oscar Farinetti and Luca Baffigo, the house has entered a new era with a strong emphasis on sustainability, becoming the largest certified organic winery in Piedmont.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fontanafredda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57175383605574,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-779_4f850cfc-de38-4e4b-9863-456a99e62c6d.jpg?v=1787319341","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/langhe-nebbiolo-fontanafredda-2005","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
