Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 di 2019

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 di 2019 is a compelling expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most admired crus. Sourced from the Bussia area in Monforte d’Alba, it combines power, precision, and classic Piedmontese structure, making it a standout choice for collectors and Barolo lovers alike. The wine reflects the long tradition of Bussia as a site capable of producing some of the region’s most age-worthy Barolos.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet hue with brick-red reflections, a hallmark of mature Nebbiolo. The nose is layered and refined, with aromas of rose petals, sour cherry, dried herbs, tar, licorice, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, it is structured and linear, with firm tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of red fruit, tobacco, and mineral notes that build steadily toward a long, persistent finish. This is a wine made for patience, with excellent aging potential thanks to its balance of concentration and structure. While it can be appreciated with extended aeration in its youth, it will continue to evolve beautifully over many years, gaining greater complexity, softness, and tertiary depth.

Production
Produced from Nebbiolo grown in the Bussia cru of Barolo, the wine benefits from the limestone-rich marl soils and elevated exposures of Monforte d’Alba, which contribute both finesse and structure. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure only healthy, fully ripe fruit is selected, preserving the traditional character of the vineyard site. Vinification follows a classic Barolo approach, with careful fermentation and extended maceration before maturation in large oak casks to support the wine’s natural elegance without overwhelming the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Barolo Riserva pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle risotto, game, and aged cheeses. It is best served at around 16–18°C, and decanting for at least 1–2 hours is recommended, especially in its younger years, to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.
