Giacomo Fenocchio is one of the most respected traditionalists in Barolo, crafting wines that are pure, transparent expressions of Nebbiolo and its diverse terroirs. His Barolo DOCG 2021 comes from estate vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Bussia, and is made following time-honoured methods – long macerations on the skins and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks. The result is a wine that speaks eloquently of its origins, combining structure and elegance in equal measure.

The 2021 vintage shows a vibrant garnet colour with lifted aromas of red cherries, wild berries, rose petals and subtle notes of liquorice and spice. On the palate, it is poised and powerful, with fine, chalky tannins supporting layers of fruit and earthy minerality. Fresh acidity provides balance and precision, ensuring the wine will age gracefully over the next 10–15 years. This is a benchmark Barolo from one of the region’s most trusted names, offering both immediate drinking pleasure and excellent cellar potential.

Nebbiolo (100%)

Nebbiolo is one of Italy’s most noble grape varieties, best known as the backbone of Barolo and Barbaresco in Piedmont. Renowned for its pale garnet colour yet remarkable depth, it produces wines of striking aromatic complexity, often showing notes of rose, violet, red cherry, tar, and earthy spice. On the palate, Nebbiolo is distinguished by firm tannins and bright acidity, giving it exceptional ageing potential. Though challenging to grow, requiring the right soils and exposures, Nebbiolo rewards patience and craftsmanship with wines that balance elegance, power, and longevity.
