2020 Cascina Fontana Barolo

“A blend of grapes from the MGAs of Villero and Mariondino in Castiglione Falletto, and Giachini in La Morra (70% and 30% respectively). Intense garnet red. Wild strawberry, violets, earth and moss. In the mouth it’s juicy, extremely drinkable and fresh, with round tannins and a finish that recalls macerated cherries. The grapes are vinified separately in cement tanks. Maceration lasts 40 days, and the wine ages for two years in 25-hectolitre barrels, then one year in cement.” – Tiziano Gaila Review Date: July 2025
