Giacomo Fenocchio – Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 Dì – 2013

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 macerations 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 90 Dì, comes from the plot of the same name with the oldest plants at least 30 years old. This is the winery’s flagship wine, the most traditional and the most austere, in fact it carries out a 90-day vinification in contact with the skins, and a 4-year aging in large wooden barrels.
A very complex Barolo, produced only in the best vintages given its great capacity for aging. Dry, vertical, earthy and spicy. To keep!
