Barolo Castiglione Falletto Cascina Fontana 2013
The Barolo of the City of Castiglione Falletto is dedicated to the 6 generations of Fontana who have always dedicated effort and love to the vineyards of Nebbiolo da Barolo. Long-lived wine by nature, to be enjoyed immediately or wait for another 10-25 years.
Bright garnet red, it opens on dried flowers and readily turns on cocoa with red fruits and menthol. Spices and minerals that are always lively, stimulate the palate, austere and elegant, with a silky tannin.
Cascina Fontana
Cascina Fontana has been producing excellent wines for the past six generations. It is thanks to the insights and experience handed down from father to son that today Mario Fontana continues to produce excellent wines. We are in Contrada Falletto, in Barolo, with vineyards on several municipalities and various exhibitions, of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, including some from Barolo. The wines all have the austere, elegant and sincere character of the Langa and are the result of immediate choices, made day by day during the seasons. The plants must be followed on regular bases to have an excellent raw material, able to give life to fine wines. The hand of man is not prevalent on nature but accompanies it and directs its forces. For this reason, for example, wines are not filtered and clarified but simply decanted outdoors in the cold months. The harvest takes into account the different ripening points and starts from the end of September to October for the later Nebbiolo.
