Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Villero is a premium wine that represents the epitome of Italian winemaking skill. Made from the Nebbiolo grape, it boasts an intense and sophisticated palate of red cherries, plum, and dried rose petals, along with a hint of earthy truffle. The wine matures in oak barrels which imparts a layer of complex spiced nuances. The full-bodied structure, refined tannins, and vibrant acidity culminate in an exceptional finish. Its deep ruby colour, complex bouquet and crisp, harmonious flavours make it the perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes. This is a beautiful expression of the Piedmont region.

Tasting Notes

The color is a deep garnet red with ruby reflections, with a bright and lively aspect. The scent is complex and rich with fruit, floral scents, spices, underbrush and plums. It has an intense flavor with sweet tannins and a long aftertaste. The Barolo Villero expresses itself with its characteristic stimulating scent accompanied by a dry, but warm and elegant flavor which it retains for a long time
