Producer
The Fenocchio family has been producing wine in Monforte d'Alba, Italy, since 1864, spanning five generations. In 1964, Giacomo Fenocchio expanded the estate by acquiring prime parcels in renowned vineyards such as Cannubi and Castellero, with a particular focus on the Bussia cru. After Giacomo's passing in 1989, his son Claudio took over, maintaining traditional winemaking methods, including organic farming, extended fermentations, and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. Today, the estate manages 14 hectares of vineyards across Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, and Monforte d'Alba, producing wines celebrated for their clarity and expression of terroir.
