About the wine
The ancestors of the Fontana family began cultivating vines in the hills around Castiglione Falletto, the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, over 400 years ago. The family's current winery was built in 1820 and is run by Livia and her children Michele and Lorenzo. Livia took over the winery from her father, which was unusual. She confidently renamed it from “Ettore Fontana” to “Livia Fontana.” The family is characterized by extraordinary foresight: As early as the 1960s, Ettore supplied its customers in Switzerland with its delivery van, a tradition that is still lived on today.

Tasting note
My scent is intense and full of ripe fruit — cherry first, then wild berries, sweet spiced pepper and a touch of balsamic. In the mouth I am fresh and juicy, powerful yet balanced. My departure is long and consistent.
Culinary recommendation
My fruity intensity develops best with dishes with structure and a touch of sweetness or fine fatness: with Agnolotti del Plin (Piedmontese dumplings), pure or with gravy, or with risotto with beetroot and robiola sauce (Piedmontese cheese sauce).
Vinification
My Nebbiolo grapes are picked by hand, selected on a vibrating table and slightly crushed. After fermentation, I mature in traditional large oak barrels for 30 months.
