Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Tuesday, September 18, 2018 - Visit to Cascina Fontana (Perno, near Monforte d’Alba): Again, bottled only one month ago. A pure bouquet of blackberries, dark cherries and other black fruit, graphite, earth and menthol. Like the Dolcetto, a little closed. More body and drive than the Dolcetto. Attractive, racy acidity, “Open, not cloying dark fruit”, said Andrew. A decent Barbera d’Alba. I’m sure it’d cellar 10+ years, easily, but I’d hold it 2+ years minimum.
