Barolo DOCG "Bussia Riserva" 2016
A historic estate in the heart of the Langhe
Giacomo Fenocchio estate is based in Monforte d’Alba, in the prestigious hills of the Langhe region in Piedmont. Established in the early 20th century, the estate is now led by Claudio Fenocchio, the fifth generation of winemakers. This family-run estate is renowned for its commitment to traditional methods and deep respect for the classified Barolo crus, of which it is a faithful ambassador.
A philosophy rooted in tradition and Nebbiolo identity
At Giacomo Fenocchio, Nebbiolo reigns supreme. Winemaking is long, natural, and minimally interventionist. Grapes are harvested at full ripeness and undergo spontaneous fermentation. Aging takes place in large Slavonian oak casks, often for several years, to allow the grape’s complexity and nobility to shine through without modern artifice.
Barolo’s most iconic crus
The estate owns and cultivates some of Barolo’s most renowned vineyards: Bussia, Villero, Cannubi, Castellero. Each cru is vinified separately to respect its unique terroir expression. Giacomo Fenocchio’s Barolos offer robust structure, noble tannins, and remarkable aging potential. These are pure, age-worthy wines that reflect the soul of their origin.
A pure, classic, and timeless style
These wines are admired for their balance between power and elegance. Rather than following modern trends, they embrace a classical style rooted in Piedmontese tradition. The vineyard work, free from herbicides and chemicals, enhances the authenticity and precision of the wines. Every bottle tells a story of patience, craftsmanship, and terroir expression.
A benchmark Barolo producer
Today, Giacomo Fenocchio stands as one of the iconic names in Piedmont. Coveted by both wine lovers and collectors, the estate’s consistency, transparency, and uncompromising quality make it a must for anyone seeking to explore the true soul of Barolo.
