Barolo DOCG

Nebbiolo

An entry level Barolo with a strong sense of place from a single parcel. Dark ruby color with lively highlights.

POINTS OF INTEREST

From a single, 1-hectare parcel facing east in Monforte d'Alba, these younger vines represent exceptional value from just outside the Bussia MGA. As with all of Claudio's Baroli, fermentation is spontaneous and he treats all the Barolo in the cellar the same; 40 days maceration, 6 months in tank, 30 months in large neutral barrel before bottling.

Barbera Superiore

Barolo DOCG > Cannubi MGA

Barbera

Exceeding the aging requirements for the Superiore DOC, Fenocchio's Barbera is notable for its long aging potential. It has a rather intense bouquet, with dark cherry skin and plum, pleasant woodland flowers, wild herbs, and forest floor. A textured mid-palate leads to a dry and complex finish that softens with age.

POINTS OF INTEREST

Produced from 2.5 hectares in his Bussia cru and aged for 6 months in botti. Fenocchio's traditional style and impeccable technique shines though year after year. Like all the wines, fermentation is with spontaneous yeast and without fining or filtering from his, non-certified organic vineyards.
