Giacomo Fenocchio, Barolo Bussia other_regions_italy backward and brooding nose reluctantly

backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad-shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality

Stella di Campalto's wines never lack intrigue

has typified this estate ever since I began visiting it in the mid-1980s

this is a wine that should reward mid-term keeping

Drink this hedonistic beauty anytime over the coming decade or more

Giacomo Fenocchio, Barolo Bussia other_regions_italy backward and brooding nose reluctantlyCherry compote, earth, tea and iron flavors are channeled by bracing acidity and refined tannins in this racy red. It's firm and ends with tobacco and spice notes. Fine balance and length overall. Best from 2022 through 2036. 2,000 cases made, 600 cases imported. BS
