Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo 2019
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2019 Barolo is a an attractive, open-knit wine to drink over the next handful of years. Ripe, succulent red-toned fruit, new leather, spice, tobacco and cedar lend nuance to this supple, juicy Barolo from Fenocchio. Time brings out a more serious side here." 90 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: The fruit comes from Monforte d'Alba. It grows on 35-year-old vines sitting at 300m above sea level on Helvetian clay, calcareous sediment and iron rich soil. Hand harvested and naturally fermented in stainless steel for 40 days, then matured in stainless steel for 6 months and in large Slavonian oak for 30 months. The wine spends 12 months in bottle before release.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Claudio Fenocchio’s estate is comprised of prized vineyards (14 hectares in total) spanning across Cannubi in Barolo, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, and Bussia in Monforte d’Alba, where his cantina rests at the crest of the hill. In April of 1989, Claudio’s father, Giacomo passed away, leaving him to take over all farming and winemaking duties for the estate. These were challenging times for Barolo. When many producers were pushing innovative ways to make Barolo, Claudio never strayed from the path of tradition. Just like the four generations that preceded him (the estate was founded in 1864), Claudio continued producing his wines with the time-honoured techniques of the classic style: organic farming, with long fermentations on the skins and aging only in large Slavonian oak casks. Not much has changed today, except for a few more vineyards, and a new (relatively modern) winery. He continues his commitment to making wines with a classic and authentic expression, and with an unwavering focus on purity
of fruit. Large Slavonian oak casks dominate the pristine cantina. Claudio’s wines display a level of terroir clarity that only producers of higher echelon manage to produce. He is a rising star winemaker in Italy with a bright future. Giacomo Fenocchio’s Barolos are a masterful combination of purity and tradition, finely detailed and terroir-focused that shows their grandeur seamlessly. Wine Terroirists - COUNTRY: Italy
