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," pronounced in front of the then sovereign of the Kingdom of Sardinia, asking for a gift as a token of love: 52 hectares in Serralunga d'Alba, in the subzone." Fontanafredda. It was 1858, and while united Italy was taking shape in the minds of Cavour, Garibaldi, and a handful of patriotic idealists, King Vittorio Emanuele II was falling hopelessly in love with a peasant girl with curvy figures and long raven-black hair.

So, 160 years ago, was born Fontanafredda, Today, it seems to be the belly button of the world of viticulture and enology of 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 clients and partners who came from all over 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-19th century, first among them Vittorio, Rosina, and Cavour, Oscar Farinetti himself guided the guests in discovering the many innovations of a company that, in the last ten years, has literally transformed its appearance.

And if it is 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 made the words of the great tenor my own.". 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 recall the highlights of the last 160 years of the winery..

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

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

Love for the unique land of Langa, which required a great effort to obtain the official certification related to organic farming practices. Because organic farming is not only a demand from many markets that are now beginning 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 "Le Case dei Conti" Diffused Hotel. Mirafiore"which, in a few years, will enhance the current accommodation offering of 25 rooms with two new facilities located in the beautiful farmhouses of tenant farmers, 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 time to face 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 much more needs to be done: Italy is currently the largest wine producer in the world, and that quantity should not be significantly increased. What we need to do is focus on the average price, certainly working on the quality of the wine, but also on its cleanliness and especially on intangible values, conveying to the 99.17% of the world's citizens who are not Italian our unique terroir, our history, and our traditions.It seems like you've submitted a quotation mark without any text to translate.
