Description
Fontanafredda's Solerose comes from vineyards located on the Langhe hills. It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then undergo cold maceration at 10°C for 24 hours. This is followed by soft pressing of the skins and subsequent static decantation of the must, also kept cold, for another 24 hours. Fermentation takes place at a maximum temperature of 18°C, while aging on the fine lees at 5°C lasts 3 months. It has a pale onion skin pink color. The nose opens with hints of raspberry, ripe blueberry, and wild strawberry. The palate is fresh, smooth, and savory. Perfect with cured meat and cheese appetizers, first courses, and fresh and semi-mature cheeses.
