Cascina Fontana, Barolo other_regions powerful and brooding big-bodied flavors

powerful and brooding big-bodied flavors possess outstanding volume and mid-palate concentration where the abundant dry extract serves to buffer the very firm and imposing tannic spine on the hugely long finish

I doubt that the silky quality will last as I expect that this will shut down fairly hard for a few years before blossoming in a decade

It's a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay with a dosage of 9g/l

this could hit triple digits

This is an interesting wine at present as the nose is open yet the palate impression is compact and quite closed

Cascina Fontana, Barolo other_regions powerful and brooding big-bodied flavorsMario Fontana blends grapes from Castiglione Falletto and La Morra, the former bringing power, the latter softness. The wine spends three years in large barrels and concrete. Rose and jasmine aromas and a balanced palate display what Barolo lovers would term pure classicism.
