Description

The Fletcher Nebbiolo D’Alba 2017 is a blend from two different sites. According to winemaker Dave Fletcher, one provides structure and the other provides elegance. This wine has depth in ripe tannin and excellent texture. Overall this wine is vibrant, fresh, and delicious. Nothing short of excellence coming out of Barbaresco. After stints in Australia as a winemaker with respected estates such as O’Leary Walker and Sticks he landed a job with Treasury helping to grade vineyards across their huge portfolio of sites, a role David emphasized help him truly grasp the value of site selection and vine age. In 2007 he flew to Piedmonte and worked his first vintage with Cerrato, one of the regions iconic Nebbiolo producers and simply fell in love with the region and the wines they make. Fast forward to today and he now lives full time in Barbaresco, making his own wines under the Fletcher label to critic acclaim.
