Fontanabianca winery
At the Fontanabianca winery, they have clear ideas: quality is closely related to the features of the soil in the region of Neive, where Aldo Pola with his family, have been carrying on their work, which the father Franco started in 1969. 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. 14 hectares of 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. Quality: this concept includes one year of work for each vintage. The wine-making area is equipped with stainless steel vats with temperature control, where the must fermentation occurs naturally. In the aging field, the large oak barrels and the smaller barrique barrels are used for the wine maturation. To preserve the taste of grapes in the wine: this is the motto of Fontanabianca
