Barbaresco Coste Rubin 2007 Fontanafredda
The Barbaresco Coste Rubin 2007 by Fontanafredda embodies the elegance of the Langhe, crafted in the prized areas of Treiso and Neive. The vineyards, located at altitudes between 250 and 300 meters, benefit from south and southwest exposures on clayey, calcareous marl soils that imbue the wine with its distinctive character.
The grapes, hand-harvested in early to mid-October, are destemmed and gently crushed before undergoing fermentation at controlled temperatures of 28-30 °C. A maceration period of about 15 days, combined with frequent pump-overs, ensures optimal extraction of color and tannins. Following malolactic fermentation during winter, the wine matures for one year in Allier oak barriques and large casks, before refining in stainless steel tanks and bottles to achieve its aromatic complexity.
In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose offers a harmonious and complex bouquet: fruity notes of ripe plum, blueberry, and violet are elegantly intertwined with aromas of licorice, cinnamon, and tobacco. On the palate, the tannins are well-structured, delivering a dense, full-bodied, and enveloping flavor, with a long and persistent finish.
Ideal when paired with rich red meat dishes like braised meats and roasts or with medium to long-aged cheeses, the Barbaresco Coste Rubin 2007 is a wine that honors the tradition and excellence of Fontanafredda.
