Giacomo Fenocchio – Barolo Bussia – 2016

In the Giacomo Fenocchio cellar you can breathe the tradition and the territory of the Langa.
It was born in 1864 in the hamlet of Bussia in Monforte d’Alba, for generations of wine producers, but only since the 1970s, thanks to Giacomo, did people start promoting and focusing on fine and quality wines. Now the winery is managed by the sons Claudio and Albino, who have always been in love with their land, so much so that they take care of the vineyards in the cleanest way possible, despite not having organic certification.
Nowadays the winery owns 11 hectares of vineyards located between the different municipalities of the Barolo area, but each with its own soil. The winery is mainly famous for producing Barolo from individual vineyards, such as Bussia, the legendary Cannubi and Villero and Castellero. All first-class vineyards !!!
The winery’s philosophy is to produce clean, territorial wines, with long maceration on the skins and the exclusive use of only the large barrel for aging, in order to enhance the various aromas, structure and tannins.
Barolo Bussia comes from the vineyard of the same name, the oldest in the winery. The soils in the Monforte area are rich in clay, giving the wines more spicy and dusty sensations in the aromas and slightly rounder and fuller tannins but with a long persistence.
Their Bussia is a super old School wine! Vinified for 40 days in contact with the skins and aged for 2 years in large oak barrels. Great wine! A true representative Barolo, complex and earthy with notes of licorice and pepper and undergrowth.
