One of Italy's most famous wineries has brought back its single-vineyard Barolo

Fontanafredda has been acclaimed as one of the finest wineries in Piedmont. It is said to have been the first producer to release a bottle labeled Barolo — in 1878 — and was also the first to bottle a single-vineyard Barolo in 1964.
The article discusses the revival of single-vineyard Barolo wines by Marchesi di Barolo, one of Italy's most renowned wineries. Historically, the winery was known for blending grapes from various vineyards to create their Barolo, but they have now reintroduced single-vineyard expressions from their prestigious holdings like Sarmassa, Cannubi, and Costa del Rose. This move reflects a return to showcasing the unique terroir of each vineyard, a practice that was common in the 19th century. The article highlights the significance of this decision in the context of Barolo's winemaking tradition, where the distinct characteristics of different vineyards are celebrated. It also mentions that these single-vineyard Barolos are crafted with meticulous care, emphasizing the winery's commitment to quality and tradition.
