This is a stunning Nebbiolo. It's pretty on the nose, with dried rose, dried thyme and liquorice, these perfumed notes compliment wild strawberry and ripe red cherry notes. The structure is expertly crafted; the tannin is firm but silky, with rich acidity and a long finish. David has kept this wine bright and elegant in the face of the hot 2022 vintage. We love all of David's wines, but this one is extra special. This would be perfect to open and enjoy with a chunk of Parmesan and some olive oil, or equally with a braised beef shortrib and soft polenta.
'I have a heavy addiction to Nebbiolo, and I live in Barbaresco where I’m completely surrounded by it.' - David Fletcher
David Fletcher is an Australian native who really REALLY loves Nebbiolo, and that obsession has happily blossomed into a similar appreciation for other Piedmontese varieties too. He started making wine right out of high school, even though he had no family connection to the industry, and no vineyards to inherit (as is often the way. For better or worse, there is a lot of nepotism in the wine industry). In 2006 he came across Nebbiolo in his native Australia, which lead him on a journey that culminated in moving to Italy in 2016 to pursue his great love.
Fletcher Wines was born in Barbaresco's old train station, and to this day David still crafts his wines there.
'I consider myself lucky to be making wines in the Langhe and even luckier that I have no legacy to follow. It's led to a freedom to play and deconstruct tradition, all in an attempt to start afresh without any boundaries. I'm on a constant search for great vineyards, and always trying to make wines that give a sense of passion and place.' - David Fletcher
