2019 Cascina Fontana - Barolo (750ml)
Price: $95.99
In Mixed Case: $86.39
Mario Fontana founded his estate in 1995 when he inherited 4 hectares of vines in La Morra and Castiglione Falletto. Mario's family has deep roots in Barolo and his philosophy was greatly influenced by his grandfather's experience. The work in the vineyard has always been organic without certification and Mario prefers to work as naturally in the cellar as possible; that means no additives during fermentation and patient elevage in botti and cement vats. This Barolo is drawn largely from the from his holdings in La Morra and is a wonderfully aromatic Nebbiolo. Roses, red cherries, blood orange leap out of the glass with just a touch of allspice. Fermented in stainless steel with native yeast, aged in 25-hectoliter botti for 2 years, blended and aged in cement for a further year before bottling.
