Good To Know: Giacomo Fenocchio is based in Barolo, in Piedmonte region of Italy. It is a family cared for vineyard passed down from five generations.

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia Riserva “90 di” 2018 is a masterfully crafted expression from the historic Bussia cru, made using a traditional 90-day submerged cap maceration to enhance structure and depth. Produced from 100% Nebbiolo grown on iron-rich soils, the wine is aged for four years in large Slavonian oak casks before bottling, resulting in a Barolo of impressive complexity and aging potential. It reveals a captivating bouquet of dried rose, truffle, tobacco, and red berries, followed by a full yet refined palate layered with cherry, spice, herbs, and mineral notes. Silky tannins and fresh acidity lend remarkable balance, making it ideal for cellaring, with a drinking window stretching into the 2040s. This limited Riserva highlights the purity and power of traditional Barolo winemaking at its finest.
