Barolo “Bussia” 2019 - Giacomo Fenocchio

Barolo Bussia - Giacomo Fenocchio

Fenocchio's Barolo "Bussia" is a full-bodied and intense wine, which comes from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from the Bussia cru, one of the most authentic expressions of Barolo di Monforte d'Alba. It is vinified in steel with a long maceration on the skins. Aged 6 months in stainless steel tanks, 30 months in large capacity Slavonian oak barrels (35-50 hl). The color is intense garnet red. The nose offers fine and pleasant aromas, with intense hints of spiced rose and licorice. On the palate it is dry, warm, full-bodied and balanced with pronounced tannins and a persistent aftertaste. A wine particularly suitable for ageing.
