GIACOMO FENOCCHIO
When Claudio Fenocchio succeeded his father Giacomo at the helm of the family business in 1989, the debate between modernist and traditionalists in Barolo was at its most acute. He decided to opt for a third approach, something we can call radical traditionalism. His wines were celebrated for being impressively approachable in youth while getting even better with age. Claudio represents the 5th generation of the Fenocchio family crafting elegant, true Barolos that capture the soul of his vineyards. Far from resting on his laurels though, he continues to push boundaries of quality and innovation while respecting his family legacy.

TASTING NOTES
The 2015 Barolo Castellero offers terrific energy and verve to play off the riper elements of the year. Pine, menthol, licorice, spice, tobacco and dried herbs infuse the 2015 with real character. I especially admire the wine's vibrancy, something that is such a signature of wines from this vineyard in Monforte.92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

TASTING NOTES
The Bussia is characteristically the most densely structured of the Crus, and for this reason is also the vineyard that produces the Barolo Riserva. The soil of the Bussia vineyard is compact clay and limestone which contributes to the firm structure. As with all of Claudios wines, this structure is matched by an elegance of flavour and delicate perfume. While...

TASTING NOTES
The sandy, lighter soil found in the Cannubi vineyard lends a more perfumed style to this Barolo. That being said it still has prodigious tannic backbone and the hallmarks of a wine that will develop for a decade or more. Lifted aromas of black cherry, violets and spice waft from the glass and on the palate its structure is framed...

TASTING NOTES
The nose on this Cannubi is welcomed by spicy aromas ripe fruit with hints of leather. On the palate, the strength and structure are mirrored in the deep, dark fruit: black cherries. An extraordinarily delicious yet serious Barolo which is rich enough to approach after 1-2 years but will reward ageing.

TASTING NOTES
The 2015 Barolo Bussia is a wine of power, density and gravitas, all of which come through in its decidedly vertical feel and rather somber expression. A whole range of balsamic-infused notes wrap around a core of dark fruit as this potent Barolo shows off its distinctive personality. 94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

TASTING NOTES
This is a hearty and slightly evolved expression. The Giacomo Fenocchio 2016 Barolo offers a broad range of Nebbiolo characteristics with lots of dark fruit followed by spice, tar and tilled earth. That licorice signature is very strong in this wine. The fruit veers toward heavier black and purple fruit tones, with plenty of tar and campfire ash. Instead of...
