Natalie's Score: 89/100

This Barolo has knitted together quickly and comes from a strong vintage. Not fruit forward but rather dust, smoke, tar, leather and earth. Good acidity for truffled risotto or wild boar. Some tannins still though they are taming.

Barolo food pairings: hamburgers, aged cheese, venison, grilled beef, roast veal.

Reviews and Ratings

This is a classic Barolo from the Piedmont wine region. Fontanafredda Serralunga D'alba (2012) is dusty roses, smokey sour cherries and earthy with good acidity and some pretty grippy tannins. About 80% of the Nebbiolo grapes are grown in the Fontanafredda estate vineyards and the other 20% is bought from local growers. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
