Giacomo Fenocchio

Giacomo Fenocchio is a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Barolo wine region in Piedmont, Italy. The estate was established in 1864 and has been passed down through generations of the Fenocchio family. The winery is currently run by Claudio Fenocchio and his son, Albino, who continue to produce high-quality wines that reflect the terroir of the Langhe region.

The winery cultivates about 14 hectares of vineyards, which are located in some of the most prestigious areas of the Barolo region, including Cannubi, Bussia, and Villero. The vineyards are planted with the traditional Nebbiolo grape variety, as well as a small amount of Barbera and Dolcetto.

Giacomo Fenocchio produces a range of wines, including Barolo, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, and Dolcetto d'Alba. The winery's Barolo wines are made using traditional methods, with extended maceration and aging in large oak barrels to ensure maximum complexity and aging potential. The wines are known for their elegance, balance, and ability to age for many years.

In addition to its Barolo wines, Giacomo Fenocchio also produces a range of other wines, including Langhe Nebbiolo, Langhe Rosso, and Langhe Bianco. The winery's Langhe Nebbiolo is a lighter, more approachable wine than its Barolo counterpart, while the Langhe Rosso and Langhe Bianco are blends made with a variety of grape varieties.

Overall, Giacomo Fenocchio is known for its high-quality, traditional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barolo region. The winery's dedication to quality and tradition has earned it a reputation as one of the top producers in Piedmont.
