David Fletcher
A horizontal tasting of David Fletcher.

We may have forgotten, but civil aviation still exists. And yet, we're always amazed when someone, like an Australian (you know, that country near New Zealand), packs up their life and moves to Piedmont. Okay, maybe the act of moving isn't so astonishing - it's probably the details and the motivation that make it intriguing. And, as you might have guessed, it's somehow related to wine.
For me, the last year was largely about gradually immersing myself in the perfumed world of the beautiful - sometimes delicate, sometimes structurally overwhelming, but always stunning. So I can completely (or at least partially) understand the aspirations of this mentioned Australian gentleman. Lately, I've also been thinking more often about my relatives in Piedmont, who, by the way, seem to have plenty of space for visitors.
And this brings us to the culprits of my vinous empathy - Alessio and Vasyl - who gathered some convives to savour the fruits of Mr. Fletcher's meticulous labour (or, considering his roots, perhaps MacFletcher's - but don't take my word for it). The atmosphere of the abandoned railway station, where the wine is made, seemed to seep into the wine itself, merging the old with the new, all interpreted through the restorative hands of a New World winemaker in an ancient region.
Phew, I've gotten carried away. Let's get closer to the point.
