The Fenocchio family settled in the Barbaresco region of northwestern Italy at the turn of the eighteenth century. For four generations, Fenocchios have tilled the earth, cultivated grapes and hand-crafted beautiful wines - the land becoming apart of the family. In 1993, the Fennochio family vineyards in Nieve, Italy were turned over to Renato and his wife Milva. Much like his forefathers, Renato Fennochio carries on the winemaking traditions unique to the region and the family.
The Agricola Fennochio vineyards now stretch over eleven hectares in the rolling hills of the Langa region. Their Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso grapes benefit from diverse soil composition and sun exposure. The variety allows for flexibility in determining which grapes are best suited to make into wine come harvest season.
Not only do they have some of the best vineyards in the Barbaresco region, including parcels adjacent to Angelo Gaja’s, the family does all of the work themselves by hand.
