Fontanabianca's Barbaresco DOCG is sourced from 100% Nebbiolo grown across three parcels within the Neive commune, drawn from vines averaging around 30 years of age planted in calcareous clay-limestone soils that span both Tortonian blue-grey marl — lending elegance and floral lift — and Helvetian white calcareous marl, which contributes structure and grip. This multi-parcel blend expresses the classic village-level character of Neive, offering red and sour cherry, medicinal herbs, earth, tobacco, and spice, underpinned by firm tannins and bright, sustaining acidity.
Fontanabianca was established in 1969 by Franco Pola in the Bordini hamlet of Neive, and the estate is today guided by Aldo Pola alongside his son Matteo, a trained winemaker who joined in 2013. The 2021 is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and aged for 12 to 15 months in a combination of large oak botti and barriques, a regimen that preserves the aromatic precision and freshness that define this outstanding vintage. Critics responded enthusiastically: Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) and Kerin O'Keefe each awarded 94 points, while James Suckling and Wine Enthusiast both scored it 93 points.
