Renato Fenocchio Barbaresco Starderi 2020 DOCG

Renato Fenocchio – Barbaresco Starderi 2020 DOCG

The Barbaresco Starderi 2020 represents one of the most prestigious and noble creations from the artisan estate of Renato Fenocchio. Made entirely from 100% Nebbiolo grapes cultivated in the acclaimed "Starderi" single vineyard in Neive, this wine captures the power and finesse of the terroir. Careful vinification and balanced wood aging yield a deep, noble red wine that is both structured and remarkably harmonious.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Clear, radiant ruby red with elegant garnet highlights.
• Nose: Complex, broad, and alluring bouquet featuring notes of dried violet, ripe cherry, and plum, complemented by refined hints of liquorice, leather, sweet tobacco, and subtle balsamic undertones.
