Fletcher Wines
Sometimes it takes an outsider to truly appreciate the gifts and potential of a region. I first met Dave Fletcher, a native of Australia, at Ceretto, where he is the winemaker. A few years ago Fletcher started making wines under his own label at a tiny cellar that was once a train station in the flats of Barbaresco, below Marchesi di Grèsy. The first wines are certainly impressive. In a very short time, by Italian standards, Fletcher has managed to forge some pretty strong relationships that give him access to top-tier fruit. More importantly, Fletcher clearly understands the potential of Piedmont, something not all of the locals do, and he has the ambition, commitment and sheer drive to go after his dreams. That's pretty impressive stuff in my book. In my opinion, the Barbarescos in this range are a bit more complete and intriguing than the Barolos. It seems pretty clear Fletcher has made the most of the Barolo fruit he has had access to, and that an upgrade in sourcing is probably needed to take the wines to the next level.
