Giacomo Fenocchio’s Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2022 is a true testament to the estate’s traditional winemaking and deep roots in Monforte d’Alba, where the Fenocchio family has been cultivating vineyards since 1894. Claudio Fenocchio, the fifth-generation winemaker, remains committed to non-interventionalist techniques, allowing the terroir to shine through every bottle.
Made from 100% Nebbiolo grown in east-facing vineyards at 300 meters altitude, this wine reflects the elegance of the Elveziano soils—rich in clay, blue marl, and tuff. Aged for six months in stainless steel and six months in large Slavonian oak casks, the result is a ruby-red wine with garnet reflections, offering aromas of plum, cherry, and hints of rose and licorice. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and well-structured, with balanced tannins and a long finish.
Versatile and food-friendly, this Langhe Nebbiolo captures the finesse and character of the Fenocchio family’s iconic Barolos but with a youthful, approachable charm.
91/100 Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter, March 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Claudio Fenocchio is a vigneron with deeply etched wrinkles and a great passion for his vines in Bussia and Barolo. His Langhe 2022 is deep, dark and focused on graphite, with cherry and sweet violet notes. Weight and concentration exceed expectations, yet it's refreshing on the palate. Its firm, dusty finish full of sternness deserves time."
