Claudio Fenocchio is a vigneron with deeply etched wrinkles and a great passion for his vines in Bussia and Barolo. His Langhe 2022 is deep, dark and focused on graphite, with cherry and sweet violet notes. Weight and concentration exceed expectations, yet it's refreshing on the palate. Its firm, dusty finish full of sternness deserves time
