Barolo "from the Municipality of Castiglione Falletto" 2020

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

As we all know, this Barolo is produced only in vintages that Mario deems suitable for a parcel selection. In vintages like 2018, the grapes from Castiglione Falletto were blended with those from Giachini in La Morra to create the Barolo Classico. The Barolo del Comune di Castiglione Falletto elegantly expresses the innate fruit of Nebbiolo: a fresh fruit that Mario himself protects throughout all stages of a delicate winemaking process, without forcing, in search of maximum balance.

The Winery: Cascina Fontana

Cascina Fontana is a historic family-run winery located on the hill of Perno, in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba. It all began six generations ago, and later it was grandfather Saverio who understood 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.
