Cascina Fontana Barolo 2019 (1.5L)
“Come una volta”, or as it was in the past, is Mario’s signature house style, ever apparent in his Barolos. 100% Nebbiolo coming from three vineyard sources (the Villero and Valletti crus in Castiglione Falletto, plus the Gallinotto climate within the Giachini MGA in the commune of La Morra), fermented in cement for as long as 40 days followed by aging in 25hl Slavonian oak botti for 2 years. Assemblage takes place and then the wine is transferred to cement to age 1 more year, before being bottled and aged 1 year before release. A classic Barolo that demands patience and commands elegance.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2019 Barolo is absolutely gorgeous. Bright and lifted, with striking inner perfume, the 2019 is an absolute charmer. Rose petal, blood orange, mint, spice and new leather develop with a bit of time in the glass, adding to the wine's charm and sensuality. The 2019 is delicate and alluring. It's everything Barolo should be, especially at this level. Best of all, the 2019 should be a fabulous value in the world of Barolo.
