Giacomo Fenocchio Castellero, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019 Alois Lageder The palate is nicely textured

The palate is nicely textured with a complexity that holds interest

spiced character typical of Ginestra Barolos but without the heft that can make some wines forbidding

Quality precision that makes it a marvellous pudding Champagne with red fruit tart

stems and flowers on top of strawberries and dark plums

hence the later release date

Giacomo Fenocchio Castellero, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019 Alois Lageder The palate is nicely texturedThe ridge that descends from Bussia, wedged between Cannubi Boschis and Pugnane, terminates in the Castellero MGA. Well known for its more poised style, it doesn't differ here: leafy lightness, dried cherry, bright mint and milky aromas are allied to a graceful, relaxing attack then firm tannins, fierce acidity and a fresh, juicy red currant and pomegranate fruit character. A dynamic finish. 94 Pts Decanter
