2019 Barolo Bussia, Fogliati, Piedmont, Italy

Description

The Barolo Bussia is a top selection from Podere Fogliati’s prized 80-year-old, south-west-facing vineyard. Only 2,500 bottles were produced this year. The soils here are pure marl, with layers of silt and limestone clay. This Barolo offers up old-vine depth, with flavours of dark rose and tea alongside mineral flashes. Layered, tightly-coiled and complex, this needs time in bottle to develop.

Critics reviews

Walter Speller 17.5/20
Mid ruby. Amazing, floral, perfumed raspberry nose and not what you’d expect of Bussia, which is normally more spicy and brooding – ‘we are very close to Cannubi and it is near Coste delle Rose, so more Barolo than Monforte.’ A hint of mint and oak. Fragrant and juicy and surprising light on the feet. Firm but fine tannins. Not for those expecting the fullness of Bussia, but this is as elegant as a wine can be.

Drink 2025-2036
