“My philosophy to winemaking is the same as my philosophy to life. I believe that good things come from hard work. We live closely in touch with the land and follow the rhythms of the seasons. We must be patient, try to do things well, and always look to improve. Everything needs to be kept in equilibrium, in balance. I seek this in the vines, in my wines, and in my life.”

Mario Fontana’s wines really do reflect this philosophy and his personality. Humble, sincere and outstanding! The production at Cascina Fontana is extremely limited with only 7 hectares of land spread out in some of the best vineyards in Monforte, La Morra and Castiglione Falletto. The Fontana family has been growing grapes for 6 generations and the wine is made with care and experience in a very traditional way that respects the ways of their ancestors and this land that the Mario and his family feel so lucky to be a part of. Cascina Fontana wines are aged in a traditional way with cement and big barrels. There is no filtering or chemicals in the wine and meticulous work in the vineyards is carried out to ensure you a healthy pure wine.
