Fenocchio Barolo Castellero 2020

A beautifully structured Barolo with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, dried rose, licorice, and sweet spice. The palate is elegant and focused, offering layers of vibrant red fruit, mineral complexity, and savory notes supported by firm, refined tannins. Fresh acidity provides balance and precision, carrying through to a long, persistent finish marked by floral nuances and classic Nebbiolo character.

Food Pairing: Braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle pasta, roasted duck, and aged cheeses.

94 James Suckling Pts: "Ripe cherries and raspberries with hints of ground spices, beeswax and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, tightly wound tannins. Structured and focused. Lingering finish. Try after 2027."

93 Wine Enthusiast Pts: "Lifted aromas that highlight the deft hand of the grower as crushed strawberries and raspberries lift from the glass intertwined with hints of sage, dried roses and anise. Round, plush and inviting the wine cuddles the palate, but it is the big spoon. Structured, strong and firm, the wine shines as ripe Bing cherries pop with freshness and vitality, finishing with a subtle earthy note. Drink Now–2045."
