“We consider our farm an organic business although we have not been certified yet. What has given consistency and shaped our family farming business for generations is the respect for the work of our forefathers and the willingness to continue this tradition.”
– Claudio Fenocchio

Five generations of Fenocchios have been producing wine from their holdings in Monforte d’Alba since 1894. Most of the production was sold locally up until 1964, when the ambitious and energetic Giacomo Fenocchio took over the estate. In his quest to make the finest wines in all of Barolo, he purchased prime parcels in Cannubi and nearby Castellero, but his focus was always on what he liked to call the heart of the Barolo area, the Bussia.

With prices that frankly do not come close to approximating the astronomical quality of the wines, it’s painfully obvious that Fenocchio should be on the radar of Barolo lovers everywhere.

Traditional method of fermentation of the grapes in contact with the skins, without added yeasts, for around 10 days in stainless steel tanks.  Aged six months in stainless steel tanks – six months in large Slavonian oak casks, successive maturation in the bottle.

“A fragrant wine, displaying aromas of red forest fruits and floral notes. Angular tannins underpinned by crisp acidity, and a lingering and juicy finish. Drink 2023-2030.” 90 points, Decanter
