Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Castellero 2022

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Castellero 2022 is a characterful Barolo that combines power with poise, offering the classic depth of Nebbiolo alongside a refined, elegant profile. Aged for 30 months in oak, it captures the traditional spirit of Piedmont while showing the finesse and structure that make Castellero such a distinguished site.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is a deep, expressive red with the clarity and brightness typical of Nebbiolo. The nose opens with red berries, rose petals, and a hint of licorice, unfolding with graceful, layered complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, yet remarkably balanced and even in texture. The tannins are present but polished, supporting a long finish marked by spice and lingering savory notes. It has the structure to age well and should continue to develop additional nuance over the coming years.

Production
Barolo Castellero comes from Piedmont, where Nebbiolo thrives on the region’s calcareous marl soils and cool climate, both of which help preserve acidity and aromatic precision. The wine is matured for 30 months in cask, allowing the fruit, tannin, and site expression to come together in a traditional vinification style that emphasizes elegance over overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
This Barolo is a natural match for rich dishes such as braised beef, truffle risotto, game, mushroom-based pastas, and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.
