Giacomo Fenocchio, Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

The Fenocchio family is one of the most historic in Barolo, with the estate dating to 1864. They have produced traditionally excellent wines for generations, but have largely flown under the radar up until just a few years ago. Now, thanks to Claudio Fenocchio and his brothers and children they are recognized as a top producer of classic Piemonte wines. The Langhe Nebbiolo is sourced from younger vines in Monforte d’Alba. It sees a brief 10 day maceration and native yeast ferment before aging 6 months in tank and then 6 more in large oak botti. A lighter, gentler, brighter take on the family's top notch Barolo.
