Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Castellero DOCG 2019
The Fenocchio family produces 4 different single cru wines.
The Castellero vineyard lies on a gentle slope in the Barolo commune, at an elevation of 300 meters. This southeast-facing vineyard, with its more calcareous soils, is known for producing beautifully aromatic Barolos that possess both finesse and depth. The Castellero cru expresses Nebbiolo in a more approachable and floral way compared to the powerhouse styles from Monforte d’Alba.
Claudio’s traditional winemaking, with 40 days of maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak, allows the wine’s bright acidity and red fruit profile to shine. Expect aromas of red berries, roses, and spice, with delicate tannins and a fresh, vibrant finish. While approachable in its youth, Castellero can evolve gracefully over 15-20 years.
