About Fontanafredda:
The history of Fontanafredda is a noble one. It began in 1858 after the unification of Italy, when the country’s first king, Vittorio Emanuele II, purchased this beautiful estate in Piedmont’s Langhe region. Here he started producing wine from native varietals, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, which later developed into a commercial business under the direction of the King’s son, Count Mirafiori. Fontanafredda released their first Nebbiolo labeled as Barolo with the 1878 vintage
Technical Director and Chief Winemaker, Giorgio Lavagna, started working with Fontanafredda's previous and long-time winemaker, Danilo Drocco, in 2014 and eventually took over full winemaking responsabilities in 2018. Working closely with Alberto Grasso, long-time chief agronomist and lead on the organic viticultural advancements at the estate, Giorgio and team are committed to sustainability and innovation at the winery, while building on the historic legacy of which Fontanafredda wines are known for.
