Description

Pretty nose with aromas of raspberry and red cherry, a hint of sweet spice and rose petal. On the palate the tannins are fine grained, the fruit has lovely concentration, held up by lively acidity and subtle notes of clove and sandalwood from time in slavonian oak botti grandi (1yr), and a lingering finish. Drink from 2018+

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Cascina Fontana

Sixth-generation Mario Fontana is among Barolo’s best-loved producers. His wines are undeniably Burgundian in style; his combination of artisanal purity and finesse is as evident in his Dolcetto as his Barolo. Mario follows organic methods but doesn’t seek certification; his philosophy is individual, guided by genuine skills learnt from his father, and his father before him. While many can be blindsided by stoic traditions, Mario is free-minded. His wines are timeless examples of great Barolo, positively charged and yet cutting edge.
