2022 Langhe Nebbiolo, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Mario’s Langhe Nebbiolo is made predominantly with fruit from Sinio (between 70-75%), which is located just outside Barolo, in the valley to the east of Serralunga. The remaining proportion comes from the cru Vigneto Il Pozzo, in Castiglione Falletto. Maturation is split equally between Slavonian oak botti grandi and cement for one year. This is a Nebbiolo of remarkable beauty and freshness. The 2022 is exceptionally poised, with floral raspberry perfume and juicy, pithy pomegranate. This is pure and invigorating, and makes Sinio look like the future.

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.

Langhe

Langhe

Langhe is an all-encompassing zone lying due south of Alba and the River Tanaro in the province of Cuneo. Barolo and Barbaresco both lie within its boundaries. Langhe is also the name of a regional DOC zone, which is used to classify wines made outside of the traditional Piemontese varietal scheme. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region are, for example, classified as Langhe DOC.

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.
