Giacomo Fenocchio Langhe Freisa 2023
Location: Italy, Piedmont
Winemaker: Giacomo Fenocchio
Grapes: Freisa
Soil: Elveziano with clayey sediments blue marl and tuff
Winemaking: Organic farming. Hand harvested. Traditional method of fermentation of the grapes in contact with the skins, without added yeasts, for around 8 days in stainless steel tanks. Aged Six months in stainless steel tanks - six months in Slavonian oak casks, successive maturation in the bottle.
From the Importer The Piedmont Guy: The Giacomo Fenocchio estate can be traced back to 1840, when the family uprooted from the comune of Dogliani and resettled in Monforte d’Alba inside a nascent wine zone that would come to be demarcated as Barolo. Officially founding the winery in 1864, the family amassed holdings in the historic Bussia vineyard of Monforte. A century later, in 1964, Giacomo Fenocchio assumed control, expanding the winery’s holdings while consistently refining his craft each vintage. Today, fifth-generation winemaker Claudio Fenocchio carries on his late father’s legacy, bottling five estate Baroli that have reached cult status in recent years. The family now oversees 14 hectares under vine, having acquired highly sought-after parcels in the heralded MGAs of Villero, Cannubi, and Castellero in addition to their prized plots in Bussia Sottana.
