Tasting Notes: The Cascina Fontana Barolo is an old-school classic wine. Producer Mario Fontana sources the fruit for his Barolo from Villero and Valletti in Castiglione Falletto and Gallinotto in La Morra. Fermentation starts in stainless steel and maceration is approximately 20-25 days long followed by 8 months of aging in stainless steel. The wine is then aged in 25 hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels for 2 years. All the barrels are blended back into stainless steel for another year of aging before being bottled. The wine stays in bottle for a year before it is released.
