Barbaresco Rombone

I was duly impressed with Renato Fenocchio’s wines when I tasted them blind. They show exceptional finesse and clarity, particularly given the challenges of the vintage. Unsurprisingly, the late, great Bruno Giacosa (to whom Fenocchio used to sell grapes) was apparently his mentor. Here, balsamic herbs of rosemary and sage surge from the glass. Redcurrant and tea follow sedately, rising steadily in the mouth. It is midweight at most but suitably framed with fine-grained tannins which tug gracefully in all the right places. Lively acidity and a peppery snap to finish.
