Ep. 1171 Matt Paice Interviews Alberto Frea From Fontanafredda | Clubhouse Ambassador's Corner

Fontanafredda, Winemaker of the Year, Alberto Frea by Host: Camille Broderick - NANTUCKET NPR

Fontanafredda, Winemaker of the Year, Alberto Frea

Back in the 1980's and earlier, one wouldn't think of drinking a Barolo that was less than 20 years old.  Nebbiolo, the grape used to make Barolo, is a late ripening variety which in some years never reached full ripeness. Even in good years the tannins in nebbilolo took decades to mellow to the point of being palatable. Wait a few decades however, and Barolo would release the delicate, floral beauty hidden below its rough exterior. Over the years, global warming, combined with modern vinification techniques allow consumers to drink many Barolo bottlings upon release. Fontanafredda recently celebrated its 160th year. While its history runs deep, today it makes wines which combine the modern style of Barolo while maintaining the sense of place it has developed over the past century and a half. I sat down with Alberto Frea, Brand Ambassador of Fontanafredda, to talk about this history and terroir, and what it is that makes their wines so special.
