Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo DOCG 2020
Barolo has the status of Italy’s greatest red wine and is the stuff of legends. What makes Giacomo Fenocchio’s– a fifth generation producer – special is its downright drinkability even when young. Even more so when you consider his traditional and non-interventionist winemaking. Long macerations (40 days) on skins, wild yeast fermentation, and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks are hallmarks of Claudio Fenocchio’s traditional approach
The 2020 vintage is widely regarded as excellent: a classic growing season that delivered wines of clarity, structure, and fine tannin. This Barolo is fragrant and savoury, with aromas of rose petal, anise, and cherry. The palate is poised and layered, finishing long and clean, with firm but balanced grip.
