On the nose, Fonticello reveals heady notes of strawberry and blackcurrant, offering an engaging olfactory experience. On the palate, it is soft and structured, with a balanced persistence that makes it pleasantly fresh and versatile. Ideal for accompanying aperitifs, starters, white meats and fish-based dishes, this wine is perfect for any convivial occasion.
The winemaking process involves soft crushing and pressing, with the must resting on the skins for around 12 hours at low temperature, thus ensuring the preservation of the delicate fruity aromas and the brilliance of the colour. Grown on southeast-facing hills, at an altitude of 150-200 meters above sea level, the approximately 20-year-old Abruzzo pergola vineyard best expresses the region's unique terroir.
With an alcohol content of 13% vol and a recommended serving temperature of 8-10 °C, Fonticello is designed to be enjoyed in its fullness within 16-20 months of the production year, keeping its organoleptic qualities intact.
