Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Cannubi 2022

A Barolo from the Cannubi vineyard, made in Giacomo Fenocchio's traditional style with little intervention and long ageing. It undergoes long maceration and spends 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, aiming for complexity rather than taming Nebbiolo. The result is austere in youth but already readable, with fruit and floral aromas gradually giving way to spice and deeper notes. It is ruby red with a slightly garnet rim. The nose is rich and articulated, with cherry, red fruit, delicate floral notes, warm spices, liquorice, pepper and sandalwood. The palate is full but composed, with velvety tannins, good freshness and a savoury note leading to a long finish. It suits game and tajarin with wild boar ragù.
