Fontanabianca Barbaresco Bordini 2022

Originating from Italy's renowned Piedmont region, specifically within the subregion of Neive, Fontanabianca Barbaresco Bordini represents the pinnacle of traditional Nebbiolo winemaking. Founded by Franco Pola and now guided by Matteo Pola, Fontanabianca has cultivated a reputation for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention.

Wine Description

The wine displays a medium ruby red colour with slight orange tinges along the rim. The nose is fragrant and complex, featuring aromas of dark Marasca cherry, cassis, violet, orange peel, and crushed stone, layered with subtle accents of forest floor, new leather, and star anise. On the palate, it is savoury, mid-weight, and elegantly structured, delivering flavours of juicy cherry, peppercorn, and sappy herbs supported by a vibrant backbone of acidity. This medium-bodied 100% Nebbiolo culminates in a long, robust finish with fine-grained, persistent tannins and lingering spice notes.
