Fletcher Wines

Fletcher Wines have a strong addiction to Nebbiolo, living in Barbaresco amidst its vineyards. As an Australian, they feel like an outsider here, yet it's home. Their passion for winemaking began right after school, despite not inheriting a winery. They then discovered Nebbiolo in 2006, and now, a decade later, they make wine in Barbaresco’s old train station. Their small production includes 10 wines from 12 vineyards, plus one unique Australian Nebbiolo.
