Color intense garnet red; on the nose, rich floral notes and ripe fruit, with nuances of orange peel, liquorice and menthol; on the palate, persistent and elegant, with rounded tannins and hints of cherries in liquor.
Barolo, a wine born from noble origins, is our greatest patrimony, a part of our culture and identity, the wine that makes us most proud of our land, Le Langhe. Barolo is never a simple wine: it is a wine of great complexity, character, body, dignity, hardness and austerity. This not a wine that reveals itself easily on first tasting; only after years of ageing in both barrel and bottle does Barolo begin to open up and allow us to discover its secrets.
Cascina Fontana Barolo is produced from nebbiolo grapes grown on steep hill vineyards in the heart of the Barolo wine zone, notably on our own three select cru vineyards, Villero (cru Villero) and Valletti (cru Mariondino) in the wine commune of Castiglione Falletto and Gallinotto (cru Giachini) in the commune of La Morra. Grapes from each site together contribute different characteristics to Cascina Fontana Barolo: complexity, structure, elegance, acidity, fruit, minerality.
