Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia 2016

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia 2016 is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most revered crus. Sourced from the historic Bussia hillside in Monforte d’Alba, it combines depth, structure, and remarkable finesse, reflecting the traditional style that has made Fenocchio a respected name in Piedmont for generations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows Barolo’s signature garnet-red hue with orange reflections that develop with age. The bouquet is layered and expressive, offering aromas of rose petals, dried cherries, licorice, tar, truffle, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, it is firm and precise, with lively acidity, structured tannins, and concentrated red fruit balanced by mineral depth and savory complexity. The 2016 vintage has the balance and backbone to age beautifully, and this wine should continue to evolve over many years, gaining silkiness and tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, and forest floor.

Production
Bussia is one of Barolo’s most celebrated vineyard sites, known for its complex marl and limestone soils and its ability to produce powerful yet elegant Nebbiolo. The vines benefit from a favorable hillside position in Monforte d’Alba, where warm days and cool nights help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Giacomo Fenocchio is known for a traditional approach, with careful vineyard work, hand harvesting, and classic vinification aimed at preserving the character of the grape and the identity of the cru.

Food & Serving
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle risotto, wild mushroom pasta, and aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Castelmagno. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours when young to allow the aromas and tannins to open up fully.
