Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, October 5, 2018 - Visit to Giacomo Fenocchio with Claudio and Luca (Bussia, Monforte d’Alba): Barrel sample. Five hectares here at the home vineyard, south-west facing at 300 metres above sea level. A soil of clay, calcareous sediments and iron, vines averaging around 35 years old. On bouquet, dark, very plush, opulent fruit with liquorice, graphite and some faint florals. In the mouth, a large volume of succulent, juicy fruit. Palate staining. Very full. Sweet-seeming, but large scaled tannins. Still, it’s very approachable for a barrel sample.
