The Barolo Riserva 7 years DOCG in Magnum format from the prestigious "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" vineyard is an extraordinary example that reflects the mastery of Piedmontese winemaking art, with particular attention to the Nebbiolo grape variety and its aging potential. Produced in limited quantities and intended for the most demanding wine lovers, this Barolo Riserva represents the pinnacle of the vineyard's production, enhancing the unique characteristics of the Bussia terroir in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba.

The 7-year aging period, well beyond the minimum required by the DOCG denomination for Barolo Riserva, allows this wine to develop an aromatic complexity and a tannic structure of exceptional finesse. Prolonged aging in oak barrels, followed by a further period of maturation in the bottle, helps to create a wine of rare elegance and depth, with silky tannins and aromas that evolve from fruity to tertiary, offering nuances of withered flowers, tobacco, spices and balsamic notes.

The Magnum format, equivalent to two standard 750 ml bottles, is not only a sign of prestige, but also a choice that favors the evolution of the wine, allowing a slower and more gradual refinement that enhances its organoleptic qualities.

Visually, the Barolo Riserva 7 years "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" presents itself with the typical garnet color of Nebbiolo, which tends to acquire orange reflections with aging. On the nose, the wine offers a complex and layered bouquet, with notes of cherry and ripe plum, enriched by nuances of leather, dark chocolate, licorice and a delicate mineral vein. These aromas blend harmoniously with the tertiary notes developed during refinement, creating an olfactory profile of extraordinary richness.

In the mouth, the wine reveals its controlled power, with a robust but smooth tannic structure, accompanied by a vibrant acidity that gives freshness and length to the sip. The palate is enveloped in intense and persistent flavours, which refer to the olfactory sensations and conclude in a long and satisfying finish.

Ideal in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as roasted red meats, game, mushroom dishes and mature cheeses, the Barolo Riserva 7 years in Magnum format "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" is an excellent choice for special occasions or as a prestigious gift for wine enthusiasts, representing a true treasure of Piedmontese viticulture.
