✨ Technical Specifications
Produced by Fontanafredda, founded in 1858 by King Victor Emmanuel II in Serralunga d'Alba, Asti DOCG is an iconic Italian sparkling wine made from 100% Moscato Bianco. Crafted using the Martinotti (Charmat) method, the fermentation is stopped early to preserve the naturally high residual sugars and intense aromatic fruit profiles characteristic of the Langhe and Monferrato hills in Piemonte.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1858 by Vittorio Emanuele II, the first King of Italy, as a gift for his beloved Rosa Vercellana, Fontanafredda is steeped in royal heritage and situated among the rolling hills of Serralunga d'Alba in Piedmont's Langhe region. The estate was turned into a commercial enterprise in 1878 by their son, Count Emanuele Guerrieri di Mirafiore, laying the foundation for one of Italy's most prestigious wine houses. Today, the winery couples historic cellars and traditional aging with a strong commitment to organic farming and eco-sustainable viticulture. Fontanafredda is globally acclaimed for its benchmark, age-worthy Barolo and Barbaresco wines, complemented by refined Piedmont staples including Roero Arneis, Barbera, and traditional-method Alta Langa sparkling wines.
