Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Villero 2021

A premium and deeply expressive Italian red wine crafted from the legendary Villero cru in Castiglione Falletto. The palate opens with an intense and structured display of dark cherry, wild plum, and redcurrant, layered beautifully with complex elements of licorice, tar, crushed rose petals, and a distinct undercurrent of iron mineral depth. It possesses a full-bodied, robust texture underpinned by the firm, tight-knit tannins and classic acidity native to this prized terroir. The finish is remarkably persistent, clean, and carrying a savory, elegant depth.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with braised beef, roasted wild game, hearty stews, and mature hard cheeses.

97 Points - James Suckling 

Dark aromas of graphite, potpourri, smoke, bergamot and dried cherries. Firm tannins on the palate, with a full body, a dusty texture, refreshing acidity and a powerful finish. Extracted, meaty, concentrated and balanced for the long haul, with an amazing minty aftertaste. Try from 2027.
