Description
Deep ruby red color with lively, bright highlights softened by slight traces of purple. It has an intense, ethereal bouquet, with the bitterish flavour of liquorice, witered roses and tarm alongside beady, warm and spicy aromas. Recommended with meat, game and mature cheeses age which are so typical of the local kitchen but it also goes very well with all the rich dishes of international cuisine.

The 2017 Barolo has an expressive bouquet of dried cherry, violets, cinnamon, and crushed earth. On opening, its somewhat volatile notes up front do blow off and would benefit from decanting. Ripe and inviting, the palate is rich with red plum, black tea, and incense. A great entry Barolo from Giacomo Fenocchio that speaks to the high-quality potential of the vintage, it is approachable now or hold 3-5 years. Drink 2021-2036.

The 2017 Barolo is incredibly impressive. Rich, ample and wonderfully seductive, the 2017 hits all the right notes. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, spice and menthol flesh out as this super-expressive, inviting Barolo shows off its considerable charms. Fenocchio’s straight Barolo stands out in its peer group in 2017. Readers looking for an affordable Barolo to drink over the next 10-15 years won’t want to miss it.
