Cascina Fontana (Piémont)

When Maria Teresa Mascarello is asked the name of a great, little-known traditionalist, she whispers Cascina Fontana, whose label bears a striking resemblance to her own. Based in the hamlet of Perno, just a stone’s throw from Monforte d’Alba, Mario Fontana produces Barolos with a touching artisan spirit, perfectly expressing the elegance of the village’s terroirs. You can find these wines on many of Italy’s Michelin-starred restaurants, as the prices are still affordable.
