Vineyards

Our richness: Barbaresco, and not only

The vineyard: month after month the vines develop the grapes. From its berries the richness of the Neive region finds its best expression. The calcareous-clayish, medium-textured soil gives the perfect grapes to produce perfumed, elegant and full-bodied wines. The secret is to enhance these inborn characteristics during the work in the vineyard. At Fontanabianca, manual work and the use of non-aggressive treatments are the main elements in supporting the vines' growth that, together with a careful soil analysis, can give quality grapes, the fruit of this area which is dedicated to the production of Barbaresco and other important wines. Our vineyards, located in the commune of Neive, are dedicated to the cultivation of Nebbiolo grapes for the production of Barbaresco and Langhe Nebbiolo, as well as the grapes for Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba and Arneis. Their production is crowned by the crus Bordini and Serraboella to produce Barbaresco. All the wines are produced with 100% grapes of the same variety.
