Aromas of dried cherries and cinnamon with hints of sweet violets. There is a touch of yellow stone fruit at the core, but it’s very classic for contemporary Bussia. Austere palate with a full body, brilliant integrated acidity and stern yet ripe tannins.

This is round and fleshy, offering cherry, plum, earth, iron and tobacco flavors. Firmly built, this is balanced, with a lingering finish and solid grip. The lasting impression is ripe fruit.

Medium red/ruby in hue, the 2020 Barolo Bussia is floral and fruity, with notes of strawberry preserves, lavender, dried apricots, and juicy tangerine. Elegant and medium-framed, it has a more linear feel and is lighter on its feet, with approachable tannins and brighter acidity. It’s snappy and has a more refreshing nature, with a lot of charm.
