More questions
The Barolo Bussia DOCG Vigna Colonnello by Francesco Clerico is a rare example of great balance and complexity, born from the historic vineyards of the homonymous Bussia area, in the heart of the Langhe. Produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, this cru fully expresses the vocation of one of the most prestigious territories in Piedmont. After a traditional fermentation, the wine ages in large wooden barrels, enhancing its tannic components without ever giving up elegance and aromatic finesse.
In the glass, it presents a bright garnet red color, while the aromas envelop with notes of withered rose, cherry in spirit, and light spicy and balsamic hints. On the palate, it reveals a robust yet silky structure, with a long and persistent finish that invites slow tasting.
Ideal paired with game dishes and red meats, this Barolo is a masterpiece that tells the story and identity of Bussia with authenticity and passion.
