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. From a 1 ha vineyard, south-west facing at 300 metres above sea level. A soil of clay, calcareous sediments and iron, vines up to 65 years old. Maceration of 40 days. Spices, bright dark fruit, rose perfumes and tar on the nose. Again, for a 2017, rich and ripe fruit on palate, although possessing greater volume and concentration than the Langhe Nebbiolo. Quite plush black berry, plum and cherry fruit, with a little rocky minerality. The tannins a little soft but some tannic grip on the finish.
