Fletcher

“Sometimes it takes an outsider to truly appreciate the gift 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 tiny cellar that was once a train station in the flats of Barbaresco, below Marchesi di Gresy. The first wines are certainly impressive. In a very short time, by Italian standards, Fletcher has managed to gorge 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 to do, and he has the ambition, commitment and sheer drive to go after his dreams. That’s pretty impressive stuff in my book” – Antonio Galloni
