Riserva

2007 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Giacomo Fenocchio Riserva is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo from the Barolo region, showcasing the grape's remarkable ability to age gracefully. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its deep ruby color, inviting you to explore its complex aromatic profile. On the nose, it reveals alluring notes of dark cherry, plum, and blackcurrant, intertwined with hints of dried rose petals, tobacco, and a touch of earthy truffle. The wine presents a high level of acidity that provides a refreshing lift and balance, making each sip invigorating. Tannins are notably structured, offering a firm backbone that harmonizes beautifully with the fruit, creating a lasting impression on the palate. As a dry wine with an elegant finish, the Giacomo Fenocchio Riserva is truly a testament to the craftsmanship of Barolo winemaking.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
