Fontanafredda Viadelsale

Named for the historic "via del sale" salt road linking Liguria to the Langhe, this blend unites Arneis (sweetness and drinkability) from the lower Langa with Sauvignon Blanc (structure, perfume) and Viognier (body, elegance) from the upper hills.

Tasting notes

Intense straw yellow; rich floral and fruity nose developing honey, acacia and exotic fruit with age; full-bodied, persistent and balanced on the palate

Pairs well with

Aperitif, light appetizers, fish-based first courses
