Barolo "del Comune di Castiglione Falletto" 2019

Cascina Fontana's Barolo del Comune di Castiglione Falletto is produced with grapes harvested in the Villero and Mariondino MGAs.

As we all know, this Barolo is only produced in vintages that Mario deems suitable for a single-vineyard selection. In vintages such as 2018, the grapes from Castiglione Falletto were combined with those from Giachini in La Morra to create the Barolo Classico. The Barolo del Comune di Castiglione Falletto elegantly expresses the fruit of Nebbiolo: a fresh fruit that Mario himself protects through all stages of a delicate, unforced winemaking process, seeking the utmost balance.

The Winery: Cascina Fontana

Cascina Fontana is a historic family-run winery located on the Perno hill, in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba. It all began six generations ago, and later grandfather Saverio was the first to understand the potential of this territory and Barolo even before the 1950s. Today, Mario Fontana continues the tradition, cultivating the typical grape varieties of the Langhe: Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo. He produces classic wines that are the pure expression of the land from which they come, the Langhe.
