An easygoing, perfumed introduction to Nebbiolo, ready to enjoy now.

Why you'll love it: it gives you Nebbiolo's signature rose-and-cherry perfume and bright acidity without the wait, ideal for midweek meals.

If you enjoy Nebbiolo, try these too:
Etna Rosso – volcanic elegance from Sicily, with similar tannin, minerality and aromatic lift.
Sangiovese (Chianti Classico or Brunello) – shares Nebbiolo's structure, earthy depth and red cherry core.
Pinot Noir – especially from Burgundy or Central Otago, for delicacy, perfume and age-worthy finesse.
Cabernet Franc – savoury, floral and slightly wild, lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon but with real personality.

About Nebbiolo: the noble grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco. Pale in colour but powerful in structure, it is known for high acidity, firm tannins and layered aromas of rose petal, cherry, tar, truffle and spice. In its Langhe form it is fresher and more immediate, a lovely way to meet the grape.

About Fontanabianca

At Fontanabianca the conviction is simple: quality comes from the soil. In the village of Neive, in the heart of Barbaresco, Aldo Pola and his family continue the work Aldo's father Franco began in 1969. The winery sits in the hamlet of Bordini, surrounded by vines that seem to run beyond the horizon. Ageing takes place in large oak botti, with smaller barriques used to refine the wines while preserving the character of the fruit.

Perfect with: pasta with ragù, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, or medium-aged cheeses.
