Papagena

By Fontanafredda, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy

Fontanafredda Papagena

Part of Fontanafredda's Pensiero range, this Barbera d'Alba Superiore comes from a west-facing site in Serralunga d'Alba, built for more structure and aging potential than the estate's base Barbera d'Alba.

Tasting notes

Rich, enveloping bouquet of ripe plum and cherry with elegant cinnamon and clove spice notes; full-bodied and rounded on the palate, with soft tannins and vibrant acidity reflecting Serralunga d'Alba's mineral, structured terroir; long, sapid finish with a blackberry-jam echo

Pairs well with

Grilled and roasted red meats, aged cheeses, richer pasta dishes
