Tasting Notes: Barolo Bussia 2020 presents a classic garnet red color with subtle orange reflections. The bouquet is rich and elegant, featuring floral notes of rose and violet, enhanced by light hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it is persistent and rich, with a depth that promises to evolve gracefully with aging.

Tasting note Robin Fennis: “Barolo time! Accessible Barolo from limestone soils. Refined nose; mixture of bark, cacao, dried meat, ripe red fruits, and a pinch of smoke. Med+ acidity/tannins, spicy, meaty flavors, good complexity, salty notes in the long finish. 17 pts.” (November 2024)
