Barolo D.O.C.G. “Bussia”
Tasting notes
Nebbiolo grapes 100%.
Compact color of a deep garnet.
A noble nose of blackberry, cherry and cinnamon, small fruit in maceration and spices.
Beautiful, lively, large and elegant mouth. Majestic and pounding tannins, defined freshness, superb depth. Well-dosed wood that leaves elegance and finesse.
Important second courses to match its strength. Duck or pigeon, fassone or chianina beef, with non invasive sauces.
