Claudio Fenocchio (son of Giacomo) is one of those unsung heroes who makes traditionally-styled Barolo but remains in the shadows of the superstars like Rinaldi or Mascarello. He is just as dedicated to his farming and he makes wine in the same non-interventionist fashion, aging his wines entirely in large Slavonian casks.

What stands out about Fenocchio is his terroir precision. Unlike Bartolo Mascarello, where Maria Teresa blends all her grapes into a single Barolo cuvée, Fenocchio likes to produce cru-specific wines. Tasting through his line-up, we are always stunned at how the characteristic of each vineyard jumps out.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2020 Barolo Cannubi is a sensual, elegant wine. Sweet dried red cherry, tobacco, incense, leather and dried herbs grace this gentle, caressing Barolo. All the elements are nicely balanced. Best of all, the 2020 will drink well right out of the gate." -Vinous

Wine Enthusiast

WE 95
"A wine that will make you pause and take note as aromas of dried cherries and warmed strawberries waft out of the glass, note of incense, wild thyme, bay leaf and dried autumn leaves encapsulate the lucky few who find this wine. Refined and elegant the palate is like a hug you did know you needed. It is full of plush warm notes of ripe wild berries, sweet and savory spices, leather all bound together as group by polished tannins that are poised and stately."
