160 YEARS OF SUCCESS AND A LOOK TO THE FUTURE

Serralunga d'Alba, June 14, 2018 - "If you really love me, gift me that outfit!"- These must have been the words that Rosa Vercellana, a young woman of humble origins, known as "Bela Rusin", uttered in front of the then sovereign of the Kingdom of Sardinia, asking for 52 hectares in Serralunga d'Alba as a token of love." Fontanafredda. It was 1858 and, while united Italy was taking shape in the minds of Cavour, Garibaldi, and a handful of idealistic patriots, King Vittorio Emanuele II was falling madly in love with a peasant girl with curvy shapes and long raven-black hair.

So, 160 years ago, was born Fontanafredda, which today seems to be the center of the world of viticulture and enology in Langa. Thus, in the name of love, the winery recently named "European Winery of the Year" by the prestigious magazine Wine Enthusiast wanted to celebrate this important anniversary over the last 3 days with its best customers and partners who came from every region of Italy and the world. In the magical context of a historical reenactment that literally brought to life the characters that animated the village in the mid-1800s, foremost among them Vittorio, Rosina, and Cavour, Oscar Farinetti himself guided the guests to discover the many novelties of a company that, over the last ten years, has literally transformed its image.

And if it's true that, quoting Andrea Bocelli, guest of the cultural foundation Mirafiore of Fontanafredda, "Love is everything, the engine of life, its fire..." one can truly say that Fontanafredda I have taken the words of the great tenor to heart. Fontanafredda, Indeed, it arises from love, which is also the deep meaning of its philosophy.

Love for one's origins and history, celebrated through the creation of a museum inaugurated during the festivities, and of a... collection of historical reserves of Barolo, from 1982 to 2010, with limited edition labels that highlight the key moments of the last 160 years of the winery..

Love and pride for one's wines, in a great revival of style and packaging, to reinterpret tradition in a more contemporary way. Thus, the latest reserve is born. Barolo 2010, dedicated to the one hundred and sixty years and presented as a world premiere.

Love for the 120 hectares that make up the company's heritage, which provided the impetus for the creation of the first "Narrative Village" in Italy, where every glimpse, every attraction, and every building is described through extensive signage distributed throughout the park and associated with a multimedia app.

Love for the unique land of Langa, which has required a great effort to obtain the official certification related to organic farming practices. Because organic is not just a demand from many markets that are now starting to delist non-organic wines, but also an act of respect towards future generations.

Love for traditions and the beauty of the landscape, following which Fontanafredda is carrying out the work related to the Diffused Hotel "Le Case dei Conti." Mirafiore"which, within a few years, will enhance the current accommodation offering of 25 rooms with two new facilities located in the beautiful farmhouses of the sharecroppers, in the heart of the best vineyards, for a total of 60 rooms and a spa."

160 years of history, marked by deep values and principles, are now written and have made Fontanafredda a unique reality in the Italian wine scene. Now, it is about facing the future with optimism and proactivity, approaching national and international markets with an innovative attitude, open to change and the challenges of a reality still to be discovered. As Oscar Farinetti, who has been leading the winery for 10 years, has repeated several times, "The Italian wine market is doing well and is set to grow: the numbers say so, first and foremost the average price of bottles, which is continuously rising. But there is still much to be done: Italy is currently the largest wine producer in the world, and that quantity should not be increased too much. What we need to do is focus on the average price, certainly working on the quality of the wine, but also on cleanliness and especially on intangible values, telling the 99.17% of the world's citizens who are not Italian about our unique terroir, our history, and our traditions.It seems that there is nothing to translate in your message.
