Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Friday, December 9, 2022 - Visit to Azienda Agricola Giacomo Fenocchio (The Bussia Hillside, Monforte d’Alba, IT): This was among numerous barrel samples we tried with Claudio Fenocchio on a visit to the winery. I was unable to take detailed notes so this is from memory… This underwent spontaneous fermentation with native yeast and macerated for ~30 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before racking to large Slavonian oak botte. This will be bottled shortly (December 2022) I always seem to love this cru from Fenocchio. It showed great depth and broad texture with some dense mineral support in addition to the acidity and tannin. Balanced fruit and nice floral elements on the nose. Top Notch with good aging potential!
