Ok, the above picture is pretty pathetic but is the only one I could find online. Hopefully I'm able to get my hands on a bottle to take a better picture of the label. I ordered this wine at District the other night based on our server Justin's recommendation. It was a great discovery. Black cherries and rapsberries, dusty tannins, and nice acidity with a smooth finish. Apparently this wine will age well too for another ten years or so. It paired well with a pizza that Rachel was having that had fresh arugula and from what I have read also goes well with rich red meats.
The Fontanafredda winery is located in the Piedmont region in Italy and produces a large quantity of Barolo. Wine growing region map.
