Winery - Giacomo Fenocchio
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This expression from the Bussia cru opens with ripe and jammy aromas of strawberry and mature blackberry. But, no worries, the wine doesn’t play all its cards on ripeness. The mouthfeel is elegant and streamlined with polished, drying tannins.

From the Villero cru, this shapely Barolo offers floral and soapy aromas of red rose and lavender lavished over dark concentration and mature berry nuances. The wine feels structured, soft, velvety and rich. Drink after 2015.

The best of a disappointing group of wines from Fenocchio, this has some volatile acidity and very tart cherry flavors that finish tannic and sharp.

Warm and inviting, Giacomo Fenocchio’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore offers earthy tones of cured meat, white mushroom and dark fruit. You don’t expect the sudden sweetness that appears in the mouth, nor do you foresee the chewiness of its texture.

Giacomo Fenocchio’s Barolo Villero is an extremely clean and polished wine with cheerful aromas of eucalyptus, root beer, humus, crushed stone, smoke, tar and small forest berries. This is the perfect wine to pair with stewed veal or lamb.

Wines from the Villero cru tend to show great elegance and complexity of aromas. This expression does just that and adds tones of spice, tar, black currant and cola along the way. The tannins are dry and dusty and the wine will age nicely for ten years or more.

Like other Barolos born in the Bussia cru, this Riserva boasts a compact, elegant style pepper by sophisticated aromas of small berry fruit, cola and pressed blue flower. The tannins are silky, smooth and help drive a long, fresh finish.

This Nebbiolo from the Langhe exhibits a bright ruby color and lean density. Measured aromas of wild berry, licorice, asphalt and balsam-menthol notes describe the nose. The mouthfeel, on the other hand, is streamlined, tight and marked by firm tannins.

From the celebrated Bussia cru, this elegant Nebbiolo opens with aromas of candied fruit, cherry liqueur, licorice and soft spice. There’s a touch of white mineral and chopped mint or garden herb at the back and the wine ends with a long, velvety feel.
