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 nose first shows the fruit — blackcurrant and cherry — followed by a green, fresh shade. Finally, I add a fine note of smoke, almost like graphite. On the palate, I am powerful, full-bodied yet elegant: my tannins are fine, my spiciness lively, my freshness long-lasting.
Culinary recommendation
Tajarin with bratwurst ragù are my Piedmontese home. But spicy pork or a small variety of Asian cuisine also suit me.
Vinification
Barbera gives me freshness, Nebbiolo gives me depth. I am fermented separately, then cuvetated and then rest for around three years in large oak barrels, which give me structure and depth without outshining my fruit. I only produce around 5500 bottles a year.
