    Description of Barolo DOCG "Communale"

    Estate

    The Giacomo Fenocchio estate is a traditional benchmark in Piedmont, specializing in crafting Barolo DOCG from carefully selected terroirs. Known for its expertise and adherence to traditional methods, this estate embodies the authentic expression of Nebbiolo in the region.

    Vineyard

    Located in the heart of Piedmont, the vineyard enjoys a clay-calcareous soil ideal for Nebbiolo cultivation. The optimal hillside exposure ensures slow and complete ripening of the grapes, contributing to the aromatic complexity of the wines produced.

    Wine

    This 2018 Barolo DOCG stands out for its intensity and balance. It showcases typical Nebbiolo characteristics with aromas of cherry, rose petal, and mineral terroir. The wine reflects the classic Piedmont style, combining finesse and elegant tannic structure.

    Vintage

    2018 was an excellent vintage in Piedmont, marked by favorable climatic conditions allowing optimal grape ripening. The 2018 Barolo benefits from good concentration and promising aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    The vinification follows local traditions with extended maceration to extract color and tannins necessary for the wine's structure. Aging takes place in oak barrels, allowing harmonious maturation and development of aromas over several years.
