Barolo Villero DOCG 2021 Giacomo Fenocchio

What kind of wine is it

Barolo Villero by Giacomo Fenocchio is a red wine from Piedmont made from 100% Nebbiolo. It reflects the style of a winery that offers great reds from the area, with a dry and elegant profile, built on aromatic precision and a well-defined taste structure.

Where does it come from

It comes from vineyards located in Castiglione Falletto, Piedmont, in the heart of the Barolo denomination. The Villero designation identifies the label and emphasizes its connection with the area, known for structured interpretations of Nebbiolo. Its origin is reflected in a measured style, consistent with the region's reds.

How is it produced

The Nebbiolo grapes are harvested in the first fifteen days of October. Fermentation is natural, with no added yeast, and takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for about thirty days. After approximately six months of maturation in steel, the wine is aged in barriques for thirty months, completing the evolution of its aromatic profile and structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense garnet red color with ruby highlights. The nose offers a fruity bouquet with floral and spicy nuances, with notes of plum and undergrowth. On the palate, it is dry and elegant, with a clean and measured sip that supports the progression of flavor.

Food pairings

At the table, it pairs well with aged cheeses, which complement its structure and dryness without overpowering the bouquet. It is also recommended with game and red meats, where the intensity of the dish is harmonized by its dry and elegant style.

When to serve it

It is a red wine suitable for lunches and dinners featuring red meats, game, or aged cheeses. The vinification path in steel and the long aging in barriques make it ideal when looking for a Barolo with a dry and elegant profile, to be enjoyed slowly to appreciate its aromas and progression.
