Livia Fontana – Fontanin – Nebbiolo 2021, Barolo DOCG – Piemonte, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
100% Nebbiolo sourced from vineyards around Castiglione Falletto in the Barolo DOCG. A classic expression of Nebbiolo showing the grape’s aromatic intensity, bright acidity, and structural elegance typical of the Langhe hills.

Aromas & Flavors
Highly aromatic with lifted notes of rose petals and tart red fruits. Cherry, cranberry, and subtle earthy undertones emerge with aeration.

Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and firm yet refined tannins. Elegant structure with a smooth and persistent finish.

Food Pairings
Braised meats, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, lamb, aged cheeses.

Verdict
A beautifully aromatic Barolo that highlights Nebbiolo’s classic rose and red-fruit profile while remaining approachable and expressive.

Did You Know?
Nebbiolo is named after the Italian word nebbia (“fog”), referring to the autumn fog that blankets the Langhe hills during harvest season.

🍷 Personal Pick
Aromatic, elegant, and delicious, rose-driven Nebbiolo at its finest.

16/20 (89/100) Зрелый букет ароматов с нотами нектаринов, манго, ананаса и пчелиных сот. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью. Горчинка во вкусе. На вой взгляд, пару лет назад оно выглядело лучше, но сейчас это тоже весьма приятное вино. — 7 years ago

Delightful. Create a chicken parm with a twist and some steamed spinach. I needed to decant it and let it breathe for a while. During the aperitivo hora. — 2 months ago

A step above a basic Soave. White fruit, some florals, great minerality, a bit of salinity, nice texture on the long linear finish. Excellent refreshing acid too. Nice wine and a good value. — 6 months ago

2024 vintage: fresh, acidic, some peach, lime, and apricot notes. Some minerality. Long bitter almond finish. Paired well with light salad, goat cheese and apricot preserve. Perfect summer sipper or a pre-meal palate prepper — 3 months ago

The best Barolo at Da Fabiana, Bossolaschetto, Piedmonte with the three Cubans. 95 euros. Complex, big, quite elegant. However, the Langhe Nebbiolo last night might be better, forgive me. Curly really liked it. — 9 months ago
