Experience the Rich Heritage of Barolo Wines in Piedmont
Livia Fontana – A Historic Winery that Delivers the Best Barolo Wines
Located on the border of Castiglione Falletto and facing Monforte d’Alba, Livia Fontana Winery is a historic gem perched atop the Mondriondino vineyard. This winery is renowned for its unique domed wine cellar, constructed with traditional bricks and wooden casks, which adds to its authentic charm. Annually, Livia Fontana Winery produces approximately 70,000 bottles of red, white, and rosé wines, catering to both local and international wine enthusiasts.
A Fascinating Story of Eight Generations of Winemakers
With a winemaking tradition that spans over 200 years, Livia Fontana Winery continues to honor the methods established by its ancestors. Livia, the current owner, inherited the estate from her father, Ettore. Together with her sons, Michele and Lorenzo, she oversees every aspect of production, from grape cultivation to bottling. The winery combines traditional techniques with modern practices, ensuring that the unique flavors of the grapes are preserved.
Fresh Terroirs Yielding Renowned Single Vineyard Crus
The Fontana family cultivates around ten hectares of vineyards, focusing on high-quality Nebbiolo and Barbera in the Bussia region, along with a dedicated plot for Arneis in Roero. Livia Fontana Winery is celebrated for its exceptional Barolo crus in Villero and Bussia, where both young and mature wines flourish. Adhering to traditional practices, the grapes are hand-harvested, and the wines are aged in large oak barrels, maintaining the time-honored methods of winemaking.

Excellent welcome. The location is beautiful. The tour of the small but historic winery together with the owner was pleasant. We tasted Arneis, Rosè, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Barolo Villero (crudo which is located exactly in front of the beautiful tasting room). The rosé (Nebbiolo from Barolo) is particular and definitely not for an aperitif, and the elegance of the Villero is astonishing. Excellent experience

We spontaneously drove by after lunch and were immediately welcomed and shown around the company. We felt very comfortable during the tasting that followed. Many thanks to Livia and Lorenzo for their hospitality.

An honourable mention for Mrs. Livia and her son, they were very kind and super welcoming, you felt right at home. The winery is very nice and Lorenzo explained the whole process to us. The tasting was top notch, we chose the experience and when it came to choosing the wines we let Lorenzo advise us, very good wines accompanied by a small portion of super good salami and cheese and with hazelnut and breadstick tastings. I recommend trying the Barolo from the menu by the glass. Of course we also bought some bottles to take home.
