Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Classico 2019
Claudio is effectively a master whose specialty is to craft Barolos with unbelievable pedigree…his hands-off approach in the cellar guarantees that each terroir comes across. Standing on the terrace of his house sitting on top of the hill overlooking his Bussia Sottana vineyards, he demonstrates just how small the entire Barolo growing area truly is: two hills over to the left of his Bussia vineyard is Cannubi, while on the right is Villero, the next hill over.

The Barolo Classico offers the full breadth of Nebbiolo characteristics, plenty of dark fruit combined with spice, tar and tilled earth, and a marked liquorice signature. The palate boasts deep black and purple fruit, with typical tar and graphite. Not only does it show an alertness and great precision, but also a big-picture approach to Barolo with wholesome flavours.
Beady, warm and spicy aromas.
