Barolo Bussia

Full

Cork

This Monforte-based producer has come onto my radar with a solid performance in the last few vintages – particularly with the Vigna Fantini bottling. Owner Gigi Boffa’s son, Paolo makes the wine and moved away from ageing his Barolo in barriques as of 2017. Vibrant and animated, the 2021 wafts with sweet garden herb and green tobacco against an earthy backdrop. While not massive, it is packed with ripe strawberry and subtlety accented with clove. There is linear precision through the mid-palate and a sustaining tautness providing a ballast for the round fruit. Chalky tannins lend textural complexity.
