Cascina Fontana
Cascina Fontana is a family-run winery located in Perno, within the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. We are in the prestigious lands of Barolo, characterized by a wonderful landscape of gentle hills, lined with orderly rows of Nebbiolo. Always famous for its great red wines, ambassadors of Italy around the world, the Langhe area has also been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for the beauty of its wine landscape. The Fontana family has been cultivating these lands for six generations and produces wines with a typically territorial profile, which express very well the noblest tradition of the Langhe.
Mario Fontana, now at the helm of the company, carries on the family tradition with a range of labels with a classic profile, using the indigenous grapes of the area: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera. The winery is located in one of the most suitable areas of the Barolo denomination. The estate covers a total of 5 hectares, divided into different parcels. The vineyards are situated in some of the most beautiful areasmost beautiful areas of the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, in particular: Valletti vineyard in the Mariondino cru, Villero vineyard in the Villero cru, Pozzo vineyard and the municipality of La Morra Gallinotto vineyard in the Giachini cru and Castello vineyard in Sinio. The vineyards are the heart of the company and are managed with great care and attention, traditionally, in full respect of the environment.
The production philosophy is based on an authentic and sincere relationship with the land and the rhythms of nature. Within the company range, Barolo holds a particularly prestigious role. It is the wine that best expresses the history and identity of the territory. Mario Fontana is tied to a very traditional idea of wine, with an austere and severe profile, which leaves no room for trends that cater to fashions or international tastes. His labels are faithful to tradition and are particularly loved by enthusiasts who seek the authentic taste of the Langhe and a still artisanal care in the production process.
