Barolo Bussia

Full

Cork

Made since 1996, the Bussia is crafted from the estate’s mature, lower yielding vines. It ages in tonneaux (15% new) followed by a short passage in large casks, though the 2022 spent slightly less time in the former. Chocolate cherry and mint take the lead with tobacco and leafy notes imparting a welcome savouriness. Rather concentrated but a countering juiciness prevails. An appealing core presents cocoa-dusted tart cranberry. Firm yet steady in flow with a touch of dryness on the finish. This could do with some flavourful game meat.
