Barolo "Bussia"


WINERY GIACOSA FRATELLI
REGION Piemonte

Indeed, the great Bussia vineyard shows through particularly well in this wine: the balance between clayey and calcareous elements in the soil, the high presence of magnesium and microelements, the temperature ranges of the altitude and location of the valley mouth favor the essentials, in these grapes, of particular fruity notes, typical aromas of roses, violets and yield a very structured Barolo with good concentration and great ageing potential. Non-invasive winemaking, lengthy maceration and ageing in large casks of 30 and 60 hectoliters produce a velvety wine with smooth tannins. Excellent with red meats (roasted, skewered or grilled) and especially wild game.
