Natalie's Score: 90/100

Fontanafredda 2020 Nebbiolo is great value at $21. Produced from grapes sourced from the Langhe, Piedmont wine region, the wine is dry, medium-bodied and vibrant with bright cherry, red berry, fine herbs and subtle spicy flavours. Matured in oak barrels for eight months and a delight with cured meats, Parmigiano Reggiano, Manchego and Pecorino cheese.

Nebbiolo food pairings: rich lamb, beef stroganoff, barbecued venison ribs.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Consistently an excellent wine at a great price from a dependable producer. Aromas of cherry, violets, leather, and warm spice. Medium bodied on the palate with bright acidity, young tannins, and flavours of ripe and dried berries, leather and peppery notes. More soft leather and warm spice hints on the finish. Enjoy with pan-seared duck breast.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
