Tasting Notes
A vibrant ruby red in color with garnet reflections, this Barolo is elegant and rich with notes of red fruit and rose petals. The palate is intense with sweet, silky tannins, leading to a lengthy, harmonious finish.
Vineyards
Bussia grapes are grown in Monforte d’Alba, one of the prime sub-regions located in the Barolo villages. The average age of the vines is 50 years old and they are grown on a southern exposure in calcareous clay soils.
Winemaking
After harvesting, the grapes are fermented in temperature- controlled steel tanks and vertical oak casks, following a short period of contact with dry ice to increase complexity and aroma.

Accolades
James Suckling
November 2023
This is spiced and earthy on the nose, offering notes of dried cherries and strawberries together with dark licorice and bark undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured with firm chewy tannins. Layered and broad. Long. Try after 2027.
Wine Enthusiast
March 2024
Crushed cherries hit with a touch of sea salt to bring out their aromas more fill the glass of this old-school classic. Earthy, leafy with a musk note that surrounds the core of dried red berries on the elegant and fine palate.
