--------THE PRODUCER--------

Giacomo Fenocchio

Fenocchio is one of the most highly regarded producers in all of Italy but most especially in Piemonte where they are Barolo champions. They were founded in 1864 and have been going strong ever since choosing to use organic principles early on. They produce 11 wines, the majority of these are Barolo that showcase their specific vineyards in a few of the top Barolo Crus. 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the red grape varietal behind the King and Queen of Italy's red wine scene: Barolo and Barbaresco. These regions are up in Piemonte where it is also made under the region of Langhe Nebbiolo, which is less complex as the aforementioned regions. Whilst it is not widely planted across the world there are some stunning examples in Australia and California. Red fruits and florals are the hallmarks of Nebbiolo's aromatics and the best examples of Nebbiolo are ageworthy for up to 50 years.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Piemonte

These are all the wines of Piemonte, a region in the northwest of Italy. It is famous for its red wines made from Nebbiolo and is home to the two super regions of Italy: Barolo and Barbaresco.
