Fontanafredda

Piedmont, Italy

Fontanafredda is not just a winery; it’s a journey into the heart of Piemonte’s wine and history. Established in 1858 by the first King of unified Italy, Fontanafredda is steeped in regal charm, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Langhe region. This sprawling 120-hectare estate, famed for its Barolo, invites you to experience its wines and stories firsthand.

Visitors can explore the historic cellars, wander through biodynamic vineyards, or immerse themselves in unique tastings that showcase the soul of Nebbiolo. For an extra dose of indulgence, stay overnight in the cozy yet elegant Cascina Galarej or savour a meal at the estate’s Michelin-starred Guido Ristorante, where heritage and innovation blend beautifully on every plate.

And it’s not just wine here; Fontanafredda celebrates its connection to the land through initiatives like the Green Renaissance, striving for sustainability in every bottle produced. Whether you come for the wine, the history, or the breathtaking landscapes, Fontanafredda offers a quintessential Piemontese experience that lingers long after the last sip.
