Discover the 2017 Davide Fregonese Barolo: A Masterpiece of Piedmont’s Nebbiolo Tradition
Crafted from premium Nebbiolo grapes in Italy’s renowned Barolo region, this 2017 vintage offers an exquisite blend of elegance and depth. Hailed by Wine Enthusiast with 95 points, this wine delivers a captivating aroma profile—think fresh rose and violet intertwined with ripe Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, and subtle hints of truffle and leather. On the palate, its structured yet polished tannins create a seamless balance between bold fruitiness and earthy complexity, accented by star anise and clove spices that linger into a mineral-driven finish evoking rust undertones.
Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a refined red with aging potential, this Barolo strikes a harmonious contrast between approachability and ageability. While maintaining the region’s signature intensity, its 2017 vintage showcases a softer edge than cooler years, making it accessible now yet primed for cellaring until 2032. Pair it with rich game dishes or aged cheeses to elevate any special occasion.
Boasting 14% alcohol content and crafted by Davide Fregonese’s skilled hands, this wine embodies Piedmont’s terroir at its finest. Whether enjoyed now or aged further, its polished tannins and aromatic complexity make it a standout choice for connoisseurs of Italian reds.
