So much so that shortly after falling in love with Nebbiolo in 2006, Dave moved to Piedmonte in 2007 to explore his passion for Nebbiolo, and has since produced an outstanding range that is both characteristic of the Piedmont region and innovative in itself. Time spent making wine and absorbing local knowledge at Ceretto have only served to deepen his love of the region and it’s great wines. Now the proud owner of, and making wine in the old train station in Barbaresco, Dave’s passion has reached its pinnacle, and the wines show it! Produced in very small quantities, we are very excited to have a small allocation this year.

Under the Cantina Della Stazione label, Dave Fletcher has produced a joyously succulent Dolcetta d'Alba. From 65 years old vines in San Rocco (Alba). Dave owns 1 hectare of vineyard, organically managed. Fully destemmed, fermented and aged in seasoned Burgundy barriques for 8 months. Unfined and unfiltered.

Bright aromatics of cherry, plum and mulberry lead to flavours of tangy dark-stone fruits with a twist of herbaceous and earth notes. The finish is long and juicy with sleek tannins and abundant texture.
