$36.00
Cascina Fontana is a small family wine estate located in the Barolo hills of Le Langhe, south of Alba, in Piedmont, Northwest Italy.
Barbera, more than any other wine, is ‘il vino del contadino’, humble yet profoundly tied to a majestic land that gives its birth, a wine that truly represents the lifeblood of the people of Le Langhe. More complex than Dolcetto, with greater body, structure, acidity and extract, our Barbera d’Alba is a wine that is never less than vivid and direct, full of the character and personality of the land that gives its birth.
The Barbera d’Alba is from two sources - Vigna del Castello in Sinio and Vigna del Pozzo in Castiglione Falletto. Fermentation starts in stainless steel and is followed by an additional 8 months in steel before being moved to used 220 liter oak barrels for 12 months.
