Fontanabianca

Rubin mit violetten Reflexen. Rundes Bouquet nach Holunderbeeren, Blaubeermuffins und getrockneten Gewürzen. Am Gaumen gut strukturiert mit wohlproportioniertem Körper, schönen reifen Tanninen und im runden Finale ein Hauch zarter Mandeltöne. SUPERIORE.DE

Hellgelb mit Silberreflexen. Im weichen Bouquet Orangenzesten mit einem dezenten Steinobsttouch und zarter Kräuterwürze. Mittlerer Körper, weiße Apfelfrucht, mineralisch und anhaltend, verhaltene Fruchtsüße im Abgang, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter. SUPERIORE.DE

"Luminous and bright, the Fontanabianca 2020 Langhe Arneis opens to citrus, white peach and honeydew melon. The wine is streamlined with the natural acidity and some mid-weight fruity texture to pair with an epic plate of steamed mussels in cream sauce. The floral fragrances on this wine are very pretty." Robert Parker

"Pretty arneis with some nice citrus and tight mineral character. Nicely balanced acidity adds freshness and tautness." James Suckling

Fontanabianca hat hier einen eleganten und dicht verpackten Barbera geschaffen. Er zeigt den Überschwang und das Potenzial der Traube bei dennoch angemessener Zurückhaltung. Er ist weder marmeladig oder zu fruchtig, sondern verwöhnt mit einer feinen Dosis getrockneter Kirsch- und Pflaumenaromen, dazu etwas spanisches Zedernholz mit feiner Zitrusnote. Ein ausgewogener Tropfen mit schönem Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lightly fruity red with berry and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body. Easy finish." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a lovely wine with a darkly saturated side contrasted against a more contained and elegant mouthfeel. Those qualities make this wine a perfect candidate for a restaurant steak and potatoes. You get all the vivid brightness of the bouquet, with wild cherry and blackberry, with a good dose of refreshing acidity that cuts through the fat in your favorite foods." Robert Parker

Ein Nebbiolo für Puristen. Im Duft Kiefernharz, Trockenfrüchte und ätherische Gewürze. Am Gaumen finden wir neben süßer Pflaume viel saftige Kirsche, dazu robuste Gerbstoffe und eine feine mineralische Säure. Dieser Tropfen verlangt nach einem kräftigen Speisebegleiter und ist in dieser Kombination ein großer Genuss! SUPERIORE.DE

"Really polished and balanced with berries, cherries and spices. Hints of walnuts. Medium body. Creamy finish. A smoky note comes through." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo shows a bright and tonic vibe that makes this a good choice for dinners at home with the family. The wine is open and approachable with lovely aromas of wild cherry, crushed flower and soft ferrous earth. The mouthfeel is lean and those Nebbiolo tannins are silky and satiny." Robert Parker

Helles Rubinrot mit orangen Reflexen. Feines Bouquet nach Veilchen, Waldboden und einer balsamischen Kampfer-Note. Am Gaumen Marasca-Kirsche, etwas Himbeere, Lakritz und eine Minznote. Frische Säure und das richtige Maß eleganter Tannine runden das lebendige und lange Finale ab. SUPERIORE.DE

"Packed with plum, cherry, earth, tobacco and iron flavors, this red is as savory as it is fruity. Firms up on the finish, with mouthcoating tannins leaving their mark on the finish. Eucalyptus and rosemary accents linger." Wine Spectator

"Red cherries with hints of cassis and earth, against a background of solid, spicy oak. Medium-bodied with firm oak and fruit tannins and a rather chewy finish. Give this two or three of years to even out." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Barbaresco is taut and elegant, showing the kind of bright primary fruit that should accompany this wine as it begins and completes its aging trajectory. The wine is very silky and fine, and it shows a nuanced texture that gives this bottle its competitive edge. Fruit comes from a 4.5-hectare site with south and southeast exposures and calcareous clay soils." Robert Parker

Mit gerade einmal 3,0 Gramm Restzucker ist dieser hochwertige Spumante, der im Champagner-Verfahren hergestellt wurde, ein besonders trockener Vertreter seiner Art. Die Chardonnay-Trauben stammen von lehm- und kalkhaltigem Terroir ca. 450m über dem Meeresspiegel der kleinen Gemeinde Neviglie. In der Nase frisch-blumig mit schöner Zitrus- und subtiler Hefenote. Feine Perlage, harmonisch am Gaumen mit feiner Cremigkeit und einem vielschichtigen Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot, feines Rosenbouquet mit Anklängen an Tee und getrocknete Kräuter. Schönes Schwarzkirsch-Aroma mit gut eingebundener Holznote macht ihn zu einem ausgewogenen und an keiner Stelle aufdringlichen Wein. Der Klimaverlauf 2016 gab diesem Nebbiolo zudem eine beeindruckende Präzision und Geradlinigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"Developed-looking mid ruby with bricky rim. Brooding, complex, deep nose with a hint of Moroccan leather. Generous but not yet fully open fruit, stitched together by gorgeous chewy tannins and ripe acidity. Good medium-term potential." Jancis Robinson

Mitteltiefes Rubinrot mit orangenen Reflexen. Wunderbares Bouquet nach feinem Sauerkirsch- und Erdbeerkompott mit verhaltener Eichenwürze. Vielschichtig und saftig am Gaumen mit einem Potpourri von dunklen Früchten, umrahmt von einem feinkörnigen Tannin. Gut strukturiert führt er in einen interessanten, langen Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep ruby with orange tinges. Closed and not showing much on the nose except for faint, sweet hints. Youthful and tightly built palate but with plenty of fruit on the finish. Gripping tannins that then melt on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"Underbrush, balsamic notes, new leather and rose aromas lead the nose. Tight and assertive, the linear, full-bodied palate offers dried cherry, licorice and espresso framed in firm acidity and youthfully austere, close-grained tannins that leave a tight, rather austere finish. Give this time to fully unwind and open up." Wine Enthusiast

"The Fontanabianca 2016 Barbaresco Bordini is a very soft and accessible expression of Nebbiolo that shows some ripe fruit softness with bold cherry notes followed by spice, tobacco and tar. The wine delivers a very tightly knit texture, yet it is surprisingly forthcoming and generous at the same time. It's another great Barbaresco for grilled meats." Robert Parker

"Tasted blind. Mid ruby with bricky rim. Deep, brooding nose with a hint of fruit pastry and succulent, dark fruit and dried cherry on the palate. Lots of juice on the finish, while the coating tannins give it grip." Jancis Robinson

"Packaged in the bottle with the black label, the Fontanabianca 2017 Barbaresco Bordini shows us a beautiful expression from Neive, one of the three principal comuni, or villages, that make up the appellation. The results here are tightly knit and firm, with lifted aromas of forest fruit, iron ore, cola and balsam herb. The tannins show some dryness, probably a consequence of the hot vintage, but the wine offers plenty of extra fruit padding and cushioning in order to hit the right balance. The final results are yielding and pliable." Robert Parker

"A firm, fresh red with raspberry, lemon-peel and light cedar undertones. It’s medium-bodied with chewy, polished tannins that are long and very intense. Just a baby. Give it time to come around. Better after 2022." James Suckling
