Barolo DOCG Bussia 2017 - Fratelli Giacosa

Why the winemaker recommends Fratelli Giacosa Bussia Barolo DOCG 2017

The Maurizio & Paolo Giacosa company has extended its plots in recent decades right in the Barolo and Barbaresco area. High-level soils, rich in substrate and natural nutritional elements, are the basis of what wine needs to achieve surprising and exclusive wine-making results. In Monforte or the prestigious Bussia district in the Barolo area, Barbera and Nebbiolo vines are planted around the Cascina Canavera. The Bussia mention is only made in good years.

Characteristics of the Barolo Bussia wine by the Giacosa Brothers

A beautiful red tending towards garnet, bright and transparent. On the nose, notes of mint and clove, ethereal without disturbing, not very intense. In the mouth a very first softness, young, with lots of acidity and lots of tannins, pleasantly angular, never bitter. Typically Barolo, it perhaps lacks complexity, but I struggle to find faults.
