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.

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 — 5 months ago

Wonderful old world aged wine. This wine had a fruit forward taste with deep hints of cherry and strong floral notes. Once it opened up in the glass, the leather and spice came out. What a privilege to experience this wine — 2 months ago
