[44SELECT] Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia Riserva Vertical Pack Set '96/'99/'01

This mature trio from Fenocchio showcases the hyper-traditional, ultra-long maceration style (their famous 90-day submerged cap technique) from three legendary, contrasting vintages, all settled into their peak drinking windows. The 1996 is a monument to a cold, classic year, asserting itself with stark, rigid architecture, offering laser-focused acidity and a tight core of dried black cherry, tar, tobacco, and iron-fisted tannins that have refuses to completely soften even three decades later. The 1999 stands as the dense, brooding powerhouse of the flight—deeply earth-driven and dusty, unfurling with pencil lead, dried roses, and savory underbrush, backed by a warm, full-bodied structure that demands a multi-hour decant to coax out its hidden brick-red fruit. By contrast, the 2001 is the undisputed beauty of the group, a textbook elegant vintage that hits the palate with seamless harmony, showcasing bright, juicy sour red cherry, wild strawberry, camphor, and a beautifully delicate anise-and-leather sweetness that flows into perfectly integrated, velvety tannins.
