Product Description:
Four crus, two years in oak, one clear direction—Barbaresco, shot straight. Fletcher Recta Pete Barbaresco 2022 is a wine with precision and pulse. It’s built from four iconic Barbaresco crus—Faset, Ca’ Grossa, Serragrilli and Ronchi—and named for winemaker David Fletcher’s ancestral motto, Recta Pete (Latin for “shoot straight”). This is Nebbiolo made with focus: 100% destemmed, open fermented, and aged gently for 24 months in seasoned 300L barrels before release. The result is elegant, fragrant, and unmistakably Barbaresco.

The blend speaks volumes. Faset brings perfume, Ca’ Grossa adds depth, Serragrilli lifts the mid-palate, and Ronchi locks in structure. This vintage walks the line between classic and contemporary. You'll see notes of red cherry, rose petal, spice, and liquorice glide across a palate framed by fine, persistent tannins and a mineral core. Serious but not stiff, it’s a standout for collectors and Nebbiolo newcomers alike.

Reviews & Accolades
“Cherry, almond, liquorice and aniseed, a dusting of baking spice. It’s medium to full-bodied, red fruits with a nice crunch to acidity, tannin has a gently dusty and peppery profile, the perfume is present, and the wine, despite the warm vintage, has a cool and pleasing ‘mineral’ character to it. Finish is crisp and long, with some orange peel bite to close. Excellent.” – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 94 Points
