Fontanafredda La Rosa Vertical
A Fontanafredda La Rosa Vertical Tasting, or how Tom Firth spent his St. Patrick's Day, Part II.
Spectacular as my morning and early afternoon were, the real kicker was the Fontanafredda (www.tenimentifontanafredda.it) Barolo vertical tasting I was planning on attending. I know the wines of Fontanafredda well and most drinkers of Italian wine probably had them at some point as well. Unfortunately most people probably know them for their silver-labeled reasonably inexpensive Barbera d' Asti, Nebbiolo, and the like-that's what I remembered them from my early days stocking shelves in the wine shops.
