Transparent cherry red. 3 hours decanting, still solid. But getting showing up it’s power. Good black fruits aroma. Elegant 20 @13000, A Novello, 250228 — 7 months ago

Fontanafredda Solerose Langhe Rosato 2021
Langhe DOC, Piedmont, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
100% Nebbiolo from Fontanafredda, a historic estate founded in 1858 by the first king of unified Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II. Known primarily for Barolo, the winery shows Nebbiolo’s versatility here in a refreshing rosato style.

Aromas & Flavors
Delicate aromas of wild strawberries, fresh raspberries, and rose petals, accented by citrus zest and a whisper of spice. On the palate, juicy red berries meet hints of blood orange and a subtle floral lift, all tied together with Nebbiolo’s hallmark structure.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied for a rosé, with lively acidity and a savory edge that makes it more complex than a simple summer sipper. Dry, crisp, and precise with a lingering mineral-driven finish.

Winemaking Notes
Made entirely from Nebbiolo, pressed gently and vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness while showcasing varietal purity. “Solerose” reflects the bright, sunlit character of this bottling.

Food Pairing
Perfect with charcuterie, grilled salmon, tomato bruschetta, or light pasta with herbs. Its balance of fruit and structure makes it versatile for both appetizers and main courses.

Verdict
A serious rosé with pedigree — Fontanafredda turns its Barolo grape into a fresh yet structured pink wine. Elegant, vibrant, and proof that Nebbiolo shines beyond reds.

No real notes, evening pour with our guest from france who is staying for while here in Poland. Great stuff. The fruit and soft edges of a good langhe nebbiolo, but the good tannins and structure of the grape. That's very enjoyable. — 5 months ago

The first thing noticed is the light color. Surprising change from nose to palate as its burst with big bold flavors. Feel like this should stay in the cellar a few more years. Note this bottle has been opened for two days. Obtained through Molesini Wine Club — 3 months ago
