Cascina Fontana Dolcetto d'Alba Triple A 2025

Cascina Fontana’s Dolcetto d’Alba is a lively, unoaked red made entirely from Dolcetto grown in Monforte d’Alba, among the celebrated Barolo hills. Crafted according to the hands-on principles associated with Triple A wines, it offers a fresh, direct expression of the Langhe and reflects the region’s long-standing tradition of everyday, food-friendly reds.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red with vivid violet highlights, it opens with ripe plum and small wild-berry aromas. The palate is fresh and immediate, with juicy fruit, mild tannins and a pleasantly spicy finish. Enjoy it while its fruit is vibrant, or allow it to develop in the bottle: the producer notes that it can mature positively over time.

Production
The grapes come from Cascina Fontana’s vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, where vines grow in clay-rich soils with silt and are trained using the single-cane Guyot system. Harvesting details are not specified. Fermentation begins spontaneously with naturally occurring yeasts, followed by skin maceration in stainless steel. The wine remains in stainless steel for five months to preserve the freshness and aromatic character of the fruit.

Food & Serving
Its bright fruit and gentle tannins make a natural match for salumi, fresh cheeses, pasta with tomato or meat sauces, and simply grilled meats. Serve at 14–16°C. Decanting is not essential; a short period of aeration in the glass can help its plum and wild-berry aromas emerge.

Producer
Founded in 1995 by oenologist Mario Fontana, Cascina Fontana is a small, family-run estate in Monforte d’Alba, with around six hectares of vineyards. The winery’s careful, hands-on approach draws on the traditions of the Langhe, while its Triple A principles emphasize attentive, low-intervention farming and winemaking. Its Dolcetto d’Alba is presented in the region’s traditional Albeisa bottle.
