Fenocchio’s Barolo Bussia comes from the prestigious MGA in Monforte d’Alba, known for power and depth. The vines are rooted in Helvetian soils rich in marl and limestone, yielding firmly structured Nebbiolo. Bussia is a cornerstone of the estate’s traditional lineup.

Fermented with native yeasts and macerated for 40 days, the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak casks. This is Fenocchio’s most robust Barolo, built for aging but showing clarity and precision even in youth.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2021 Barolo Bussia is an absolute delight. Aromatic, graceful and light on its feet, the 2021 is pure seduction. Pine, mint, cloves, new leather, licorice, wild cherry and sage are some of the many notes that are laced together in this exquisite, haunting Barolo from Claudio Fenocchio." -Antonio Galloni

Decanter

D 94
"Located in the heart of Bussia, the Giacomo Fenocchio estate counts 5ha in the Sottana subzone. As with all the MGA bottlings, fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, maceration is upwards of 40 days, and ageing is in large Slavonian oak casks. The 2021 has a flamboyant side, leading with roasted coffee, iron, grilled bay leaf and crushed allspice aromas. As animated as the nose is, the palate needs a bit more time to come together, however it is well packed with dense dark cherry and perfumed fennel. The tannins are chalky yet sweet, with a taut snap. I love the saline twist on the finish."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 98
"The Giacomo Fenocchio 2021 Bussia mesmerizes with its aromas of violet, botanical herb, forest berry, menthol and cake spice. Full-bodied and firmly structured, the utterly delicious palate boasts a great depth of flavors including juicy red cherry, raspberry preserve, cinnamon stick, crushed mint and star anise before a graphite finish, all set against a backbone of fine-grained tannins. Showing serious aging potential, it has bright acidity that also keeps it well balanced. Drink 2033–2051." -Kerin O’Keefe
