2020 Barolo, Bussia, Giacomo Fenocchio, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Claudio has 10ha in Bussia, but this is made only from five hectares of Bussia Sottana fruit.  In many ways, this could be seen as an archetypical Monforte, with a rich generosity, but with elegance interwoven by a minerality and a heady herbal note, edging towards balsamic.  The vines are in a prime sector of Bussia, around Pugnane and the character of the vintage further emphasises the wine’s fulsome character.  This is exactly what we were looking for when seeking a further expression of Monforte d’Alba.

Critics reviews

Kerin O'Keefe 94/100
Leather, blue flower, camphor and tobacco aromas lead the nose on the 2020 Bussia from Giacomo Fenocchio. The tight, savory palate offers ripe raspberry, strawberry, flinty mineral and ground clove alongside taut, fine-grained tannins.Drink 2028 - 2035Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (March 2024)

The 2020 Barolo Bussia is the most expressive of these Barolos from Claudio Fenocchio. Ample and layered in feel, the 2020 offers up a compelling mix of dark fruit, mocha, spice, leather, dried herbs and incense. There's real penetrating power to the aromatics and flavors here. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural pedigree. The 2020 is beautifully done.Drink 2026 - 2040antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)
