Mario\\u2019s vineyards are located in the best zones of production in the commune of Castiglione Falletto (vigna Valletti,cru Mariondino, vigna Villero/cru Villero e vigna del Pozzo); La Morra (vigna Gallinotto/cru Giachini); and Sinio (vigna del Castello).\\nCascina Fontana is a wholly traditional wine estate that respects and follows the culture, traditions and history of Le Langhe. Mario himself personally oversees the entire cycle of production, from the tending of the vineyards to the making of the wines, taking the greatest and most meticulous care at every stage of the process. They are truly handcrafted, artisan wines of the highest quality and I hope that my fellow IWAs will seek them out and come to appreciate them as much as I do.\\nIf you want to learn more about today\\u2019s guest producer, you can by visiting:\\nwww.cascinafontana.com/language/en-US/Home\\nMore about the moderator Stevie Kim:\\nStevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!
