Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2010

The 2005 Barolo Fossati is the darkest and richest of these Baroli, which is a bit surprising given the lighter nature of the vintage. The Fossati shows quite a bit of juiciness in its dark raspberries, flowers and sweet French oak. All of the elements come together beautifully in this expressive, fruit-driven Barolo. The finish remains vibrant and plump through to the close. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator, March 2011

Offers plenty of spicy oak, with vanilla and clove, but also rich, concentrated cherry and raspberry underneath. Very elegant and supple overall, with a long, spicy aftertaste. Best from 2013 through 2028. 600 cases made. - BS

About Winery

Cascina Adelaide has been a working winery with its own "cru" vineyards for over 100 years. "Cru" vineyards are recognized on the basis of exposure, altitude, and soil characteristics that are capable of producing the highest quality grapes in the region. Despite its location just below the Castello of Barolo itself, it was basically unknown outside the local area until Amabile Drocco bought the property in 1999 and began modernization.

He made a considerable investment in new equipment, engaged a top agronomist and winemaker, and added a new state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery building to the property. This is, no doubt, a super-star winery in the making. The winery has received many accolades including multiple 90 plus ratings in The Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Veronelli, and was winner of 5 stars in Decanter Magazine. In short, the long-held potential of Cascina Adelaide is now being realized and it is becoming one of the top producers in an area where world-class wine is already the tradition.
