    Description of Barolo DOCG "Castellero"

    Estate

    The Giacomo Fenocchio estate, established in 1920, is a respected name in Piedmont wine production. Known for its traditional expertise, the estate focuses on authentically expressing the local terroir while emphasizing quality and environmental respect.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Piedmont region within the Barolo DOCG appellation, the vineyard benefits from favorable climate and calcareous clay soils that impart structure and elegance to the wines.

    Wine

    This Barolo is a red wine made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, known for their complex aromas and aging potential. Although it lacks specific high ratings from Parker or RVF, it remains a faithful and traditional representation of the Barolo style, characterized by refined tannins.

    Vintage

    The 2018 vintage featured balanced weather conditions in Piedmont, allowing optimal ripening of Nebbiolo. This vintage is recognized for wines with good aromatic concentration combined with freshness.

    Vinification & Aging

    The vinification follows traditional methods including controlled temperature fermentation to preserve delicate aromas. Aging is carried out for about 24 months in oak barrels, providing harmonious tannic structure and complex aromatic development.
