Fontanabianca Barbaresco is a classic Italian red wine from the Barbaresco DOCG appellation in Piedmont, Italy, crafted entirely from Nebbiolo grapes. The Fontanabianca winery is based in the Barbaresco commune and produces this wine as an exceptional value expression of the denomination, consistently earning critic scores averaging 91/100 across multiple vintages from publications including Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling.

This Barbaresco displays the hallmark characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape: aromas of dried cherry, rose, violet, and red berry fruit, accented by notes of spice, earth, and a whisper of tobacco. On the palate, it shows elegant tannins, bright acidity, and a long, refined finish with flavors of sour cherry, raspberry, star anise, white pepper, and subtle earthy or balsamic undertones that evolve with bottle age.

An ageworthy wine that benefits from cellaring and pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes, wild game, pappardelle with wild boar, black truffle pasta, Parmesan, and lamb. Sold as a 6-bottle case (6/750ml) at Costco, it represents outstanding value for a Barbaresco DOCG that typically retails between $33 and $52 per bottle at specialty wine shops.
