Barolo Bussia

Full

Cork

The third Barolo under his belt, Orlando Rocca is making wine out of his late uncle – Domenico Clerico’s original cellar. Aged in used barriques for the minimum 18 months required by the DOCG, the 2022 is a bit rustic if candid and characterful. Cedar bark, fennel and baked plum mark the nose. This packs quite a heft. Ample fruit, dry tannins and dense wood battle it out across the palate. Throughout, hints of chestnut, medicinal herbs and earthy minerals are engaging. Needs a bit more time to integrate.
