The Barolo "Bussia" DOCG by Giacomo Fenocchio is a sublime expression of the Nebbiolo grape, grown in the renowned area of ​​Bussia, in the heart of the Barolo territory. This winery, guided by the principles of loyalty to tradition and pursuit of the highest quality, produces a Barolo that is a true celebration of the power and elegance that only the best Nebbiolos can express.

Visually, Barolo "Bussia" has an intense garnet red color, with orange reflections that develop with aging. On the nose, the wine reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet, characterized by notes of ripe red fruit, in particular cherry and plum, enriched by nuances of withered flowers, tobacco, spices and a light touch of leather and tar, which give depth and complexity to the olfactory profile.

In the mouth, Giacomo Fenocchio's "Bussia" demonstrates an extraordinary structure and concentration, balanced by robust but finely crafted tannins and an acidity that gives freshness and liveliness to the wine. This power is harmoniously integrated by a rich and velvety palate, which evolves towards a long and persistent finish, with an aftertaste that recalls the olfactory sensations and adds a pleasant minerality.

Ideal in combination with intense and structured dishes, such as grilled red meats, truffle-based dishes, game and mature cheeses, Barolo "Bussia" is also a meditation wine, which is further enriched with ageing, gradually revealing increasingly complex and fascinating nuances.
