David Fletcher is an Australian making wines in Barbaresco. Yes, you read that correctly. A self-described Nebbiolo addict, David moved to Piedmont in 2007, where he started working at Ceretto, eventually becoming the head winemaker at the estate. He was able to purchase the old Barbaresco train station, which now serves as his winemaking facility for his personal wine label, Fletcher, where he hand crafts a number of different wines, from classic Barbaresco to Langhe Chardonnay to a skin-contact blend of Arneis and Moscato.

Fletcher's Recta Pete is a Barbaresco made following the traditional practice of blending different vineyard sites throughout the region to create a single, representative Barbaresco. The idea is that each vineyard adds different layers to the finished wine, enhancing its complexity. 100% Nebbiolo fermented with native yeasts in open-top fermenters and aged for 2 years in old 300-liter French oak barrels before bottling without finishing or filtration. Focused, vibrant and bursting with red fruits, this powerful Barbaresco will drink beautifully over the next decade.
