Vintage Report

The 2019 vintage for Barolo is considered exceptional with a score of 96T. The wines are currently still tannic and youthful, indicating excellent aging potential.

Giacomo Fenecchio has no fewer than four different Barolo crus: Villero, Castellero, Cannubi, and Bussia. The latter is the winery's flagship. Here, the winery has 5 hectares of vines with an average age of 35 years. These are planted on the best part, Bussia Sottana. This part is said to be the only true original part of the Bussia cru. The quality is, in any case, exceptionally high.

Barolo's most prestigious vineyards

The Fenocchio estate was founded in 1864. The 12-hectare estate has been passed down through more than five generations. Giacomo Fenocchio was responsible for adding vineyard land and focusing on exports, and today the estate is run by his sons (Claudio, Albino, and Alberto), with almost 80 percent of production exported. The Fenocchio family owns two of Barolo's most famous and prestigious vineyards, Cannubi and Bussia. Quality is always paramount, and therefore the entire vinification process is meticulously managed.

30 months of wood aging for Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia

Near Barolo, we find the renowned Bussia region. It is situated on a southeast-facing slope at an altitude of approximately 300 meters above sea level. The soil is rich in clay and calcareous sediment. The 35-year-old vines benefit greatly from this. The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October. Afterward, they are gently pressed in the winery. The fermentation process lasts 40 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels before being bottled. The bottles then remain in the cellar for a few more months to further refine. The color is deep garnet red, and the bouquet is fine and pleasant, with intense aromas of spiced rose and licorice. The palate is dry, warm, full, and balanced with pronounced tannins and a lingering finish. A wine that is particularly well-suited for aging.
