Description
2018 Barolo Riserva Bussia “90 di”, Giacomo Fenocchio
About the Winery: Giacomo Fenocchio is a benchmark Barolo estate rooted in Monforte d’Alba, producing pure, traditional Nebbiolo from some of the region’s greatest crus. The family has farmed these vineyards for over a century, working organically, harvesting by hand, and vinifying with long macerations and large Slavonian oak. The Bussia “90 di” bottling celebrates 90 years of Fenocchio heritage and comes from old vines within the prestigious Bussia MGA, delivering a profound and classically styled Barolo of remarkable depth, structure and authenticity.
Grape Variety: 100% Nebbiolo
Appearance: Deep garnet with a brick-tinged rim, showing classic Barolo evolution and excellent clarity.
Aroma: Layers of dried cherry, rose petal, tar, liquorice, leather and truffle, with hints of balsam, sweet spice and forest floor. Complex and beautifully lifted.
Palate: Powerful yet elegant with concentrated red fruit, firm tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury, mineral-driven finish. A classic, age-worthy Bussia expression with precision and profound structure.
Body: Full-bodied with commanding presence and depth.
Acidity: High, providing tension, longevity and aromatic lift.
Cellaring Potential: Exceptional—cellar 15–25+ years for full development of tertiary complexity and graceful evolution.
Perfect Pairing: Braised beef, osso buco, truffle dishes, wild mushroom risotto, aged Parmigiano Reggiano and game meats.
Serving Temperature: 18°C; decant 2–3 hours for full aromatic and structural expression.
