Barolo Castiglione Falletto 2016 - Cascina Fontana (magnum, OWC))

Tasting notes

The Barolo Castiglione Falletto Barolo comes from the municipality of the same name of Castiglione Falletto and is the top model which has been made for 6 generations in a very small edition in honor of the Fontana family. The wine has a brilliant garnet color, nose bouquet with dried flowers and red fruit jam with delicate notes of sweet spices, cocoa and menthol. Sober and elegant palate with silky and packed tannins that mingle with a remarkable minerality. This is a top Barolo from the beautiful year 2016

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Sixth-generation Mario Fontana is among Barolo’s best-loved producers. His wines are undeniably Burgundian in style; his combination of artisanal purity and finesse is as evident in his Dolcetto as his Barolo. Mario follows organic methods but doesn’t seek certification; his philosophy is individual, guided by genuine skills learnt from his father, and his father before him. While many can be blindsided by stoic traditions, Mario is free-minded. His wines are timeless examples of great Barolo, positively charged and yet cutting edge.

From vineyard practices to vinification, Mario keeps his options open at every step. His son Valdo has recently joined him in the cantina, and one can feel the flow of energy and passion ebbing through this generational transition. Although his vineyards and cantina are spread through the region, Fontana’s greatest achievements are rooted in their ancestral hometown of Castiglione Falletto.
