Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Villero DOCG 2019
The Fenocchio family produces 4 different single cru wines.
Located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, the Villero vineyard is renowned for producing some of the most elegant and complex Barolos in the Langhe region. Sitting at an altitude of 280-320 meters, the vineyard benefits from a south-west-facing slope, which is ideal for ripening Nebbiolo grapes. The soil is a mix of clay and limestone, which contributes to the wine’s refined structure and aromatic intensity.
Claudio Fenocchio uses the same traditional long maceration of 40 days with indigenous yeast, followed by 6 months in stainless steel and 30 months in large Slavonian oak botti. This Barolo exudes a bouquet of violets and cherries, with notes of tar and truffle that develop over time. The tannins are polished, offering a silky mouthfeel, and the wine finishes with a persistent, harmonious elegance. Age-worthy for 20-30 years, Villero is a classic, poised Barolo.
