This estate's top vineyards are in Monforte. Its succulent Bussia in this vintage is surpassed by the Coste di Monforte, which is produced from 1ha at 400 metres. The raspberry-scented nose is sweet and intense and shows finesse. It's the balance that impresses here: rich and full-bodied, weighty but not too extracted, with polished tannins and great concentration. The finish is spicy, intense, complex and long.
