Note di degustazione
The Giacomo Fenocchio 2019 Barolo Cannubi opens to a dark garnet color and suffers from a slightly muted bouquet. I notice this trait across the wines in this portfolio. There are dusty earthy aromas that cede to crushed flowers and dried currant. The tannins are fine and powdery. The wine gives more with time, but it never fully opened. This is a 3,000-bottle release.

Moving to the Cru wines, the 2019 Barolo Cannubi is lifted and floral, with fresh wild berries, sweet herbs, and dried roses. Medium-bodied and refreshing, it has an elegant stony texture laced with fine tannins that make themselves known on the finish. This crispy and weightless red is already showing well but will benefit from another couple of years in the cellar before drinking over the following 15 years. Claudio Fenocchio is the fifth-generation winemaker for this estate based in Monforte d’Alba. They practice long fermentations and maceration and utilize large Slavonian oak. In the vineyard, they practice organic viticulture.
The 2019 Barolo Cannubi offers a striking combination of energy and depth. All the Cannubi signatures come through in this young but expressive Barolo. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, red cherry and mineral notes race out of the glass. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2019 packs a pretty serious punch.
