Barale Barolo 'Bussia' 2018

Barale Barolo ‘Bussia’ 2018

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Oh so pretty! This is very well played. Bussia is right in the north of Monforte, which as a whole was very poorly defined during the MGA classification. It tends to produce wines of more elegance than many of the Crus further south in Monforte. Barale’s 2018s have been beautifully composed. The Bussia tannins are fine and restrained. The development and oxidative handling demands quality fruit and it has that with a solid core of red fruits layered in with savoury, earthy notes. I’m enjoyin

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Perno’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Classic Sordo Perno, The darkness and oppulence of fruit on the nose. The palate very tightly would closed. Yet you can see the core of fruit behind it. Juvenille and in need of the usual 5 years to settle. Everything in its place and ready to go. Inkling of the truffle and secondary character.Grab a 2021 Ca' di Press Barolo 'Perno' for a tasty side by side.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedID 94

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Perno’ 2015

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Took the second longest to reveal more of itself. Like the other wines in the bracket it demands time in the bottle. Perfume combined with secondary complexity the name of the game here! This is all Monforte, with giveaway blue fruits, violet, cherry liqueur and some mint. Firm, taut and fleshy, this is typical of this part of Perno, the Cerretta parcel, immediately adjoining Conterno-Fantino’s, with which it shares a similar darker ‘blue’ style. Tannins seem very ripe this year…but they

Barale Barolo ‘Bussia’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Moving to Monforte at the top of Bussia we see the hallmarks of the top Bussia. The acid tannin complex is true to the form for the commune showing a playful grip. Bright red fruit with a certain delicacy combine with energetic acid.Again a beautiful perfume with a dark mineral slatey edge. Blood orange and a little phenol. Another great example of grape first Barolo showing its part of the commune of Monforte. Like the Monrobiolo a few more years in bottle will see this resolve, build and

Excellent, immediately took me to the 2010 Riserva. Wonderful density. Every sniff sees another scent wafting out of the glass. Excellent, immediately took me to the 2010 Riserva. Wonderful density. Every sniff sees another scent wafting out of the glass. The tannins show the benefit of a long ripening season. Yes, they have structure, they are damn fine tannins of exceptional depth and length. Hints of tobacco, earth, savoury bits and such a long deep core of fruit. This will develop beautifull

Bright red fruit with a certain delicacy combine with energetic acid.A fine Bussia with considerable depth and length. A delicate perfume over the top of a very fine transparent Barolo. Thirst quenching. Lovely red and savoury fruit. Delicate Bussia yet still with generosity, now there's a trick.  Complete refined. Delicious. Mou

Bigger than most other wines, with more grunt in all respects. Complex. Chewy and very full palate with a wall of tannins. Meaty flavours with some ironstone. Old-school. Peter Godden, Neb Guru This is all Monforte, with giveaway blue fruits, violet, cherry liqueur and some mint.

Poderi Colla Barolo Bussia 'Dardi Le Rose' 2021
The single best Dardi Le Rose I've seen from Poderi Colla. Serious wine, yet, with a playful side. Excellent tannins, depth and length. A dark note melds into red fruits. Fresh, energetic & layered.  Structured Monforte Tannins with a beautifully weighted presence.Lovely perfume. Earthy, forest floor, with a dash of licorice/tar + so much more going on already! A few years in bottle will see it through the first phase of development and into a very happy place. Plenty of legs on it and

Vajra Barolo 'Ravera' 2020

Vajra Barolo ‘Ravera’ 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Ravera reveals wild forest berry, cherry, licorice root and sweet summer fruit. The effect is focused or chiseled thanks to animating acidity and pinpoint fruit flavors. Located in the village of Novello, Ravera benefits from open panoramas and cooler temperatures from the mountains. These factors make this cru one of the most promising in this era of climate change. This is a Barolo for the purists. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96 Points AG 94+

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo 'Bussia' 2021

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo ‘Bussia’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Bussia is huge MGA. Giacomo Fenocchio's parcel comes from a peninsular at the top of the Commune sitting between Barolo & Castiglione Falletto. It's large enough to be split into 5-6 different fermentations. All very different from each other in personality. Fenocchio's beautiful Bussia a demonstration of the massive differences in style across Monforte. Often very structured, demanding patiences, Claudio's sites and wine making offer an elegant wine. It has some a degree of immediate genero
