Giacomo Fenocchio
About Giacomo Fenocchio
Currently headed by fifth-generation Claudio Fenocchio, Giacomo Fenocchio is an estate with a long history dating back to 1864. Never straying from the path of the traditional approach, Claudio continues to produce Nebbiolo using time-honoured techniques. His wines undergo long, slow fermentation before aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. Committed to following organic viticultural practices strictly, this estate's Barolo range displays dazzling levels of terroir clarity.
Giacomo Fenocchio rightfully sits amongst the top echelon of Barolo producers alongside Giacomo Conterno and Cavalotto. An artisanal winemaker crafting “classic Barolos that beautifully express their pedigree”, the veteran Italian wine author and critic, Kerin O’Keefe (Wine Enthusiast), named Giacomo Fenocchio one of his favourite Barolo estates. Somehow remaining incredibly affordable despite its very grand accolade, we are thrilled to present the latest vintage offering from this highly esteemed estate.

James Suckling (93)Very refined and polished with gorgeous berry, spice and light leather character. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a lightly chewy, tannin background. Hard not to drink now. Better in three years. |

Vinous (95)The 2016 Barolo Bussia is a wine of tremendous character and complexity. Menthol, lavender, black cherry, graphite, cloves and leather all open up in the glass. Virile and layered, with tons of depth, the 2016 Bussia has so much to offer. A few years in the cellar will help the tannins soften, but the 2016 is already quite expressive. It is also one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Fenocchio. |

James Suckling (97)Wow. This is so perfumed and beautiful with scents of berry, walnut, dried herb and cherry. So subtle. Full body, super integrated tannins and a long finish. Gorgeous. Best Cannubi this year? Drink or hold. |

Vinous (91)The 2017 Barolo Cannubi is a very pretty, ethereal Barolo. Crushed flowers, sweet dried red berries, mint, chalk and white pepper are all nicely lifted. This is a decidedly light style, even for Cannubi. |

James Suckling (95)Aromas of flowers and cedar with plums and beeswax. Full-bodied, chewy and very structured. Very linear and tight. Needs three or four years to come together. Try in 2023. |

Vinous (94)The 2016 Barolo Villero is a powerful, clenched wine. Then again, that's Villero. Readers will have to be patient, that much is clear. White pepper, chalk, dried flowers, dried red cherry and mint open up over time, but the 2016 is sinewy and nervous in feel, with just enough fruit to keep things in balance. Hints of sage, tobacco, leather and menthol add the closing touches of complexity. |

Vinous (93)The 2017 Barolo Villero is another terrific wine in this range from Fenocchio. Dark and layered in the glass, with veins of the firm tannin that often defines Villero, the 2017 is wonderfully expressive. Sweet red cherry, iron, dried herbs and earthy tones all open in the glass. Readers will find a tightly wound, savory Barolo of real character. Give it a few years to unwind. |
