This area, known for the exceptional quality of its Nebbiolo grapes, produces wines that are celebrated for their structure, depth and aging potential. "Pianpolvere Soprano" is particularly appreciated by Barolo lovers for its distinctive character and its ability to reflect the uniqueness of its specific terroir.
The Bussia area, located in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, is blessed with an ideal microclimate and soils composed mainly of marl and sandstone, which contribute to giving Nebbiolo a unique aromatic intensity and tannic complexity. The "Pianpolvere Soprano" vineyard stands out within this area for its particular exposure and for the quality of its grapes, which are carefully selected and harvested by hand to guarantee the maximum expression of the vine and terroir.
The vinification of Barolo "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" follows the classic traditions of the region, with a long maceration of the skins to extract colours, aromas and tannins, followed by careful management of the fermentation. The refinement of the wine usually takes place in large oak barrels, for a period that can vary but is generally between 24 and 36 months, depending on the vintage and the specific characteristics of the wine. This process not only helps soften the tannins, but also adds layers of flavor complexity without overpowering the fruit.
Visually, the Barolo "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" presents the classic garnet red color with orange reflections which tend to intensify with aging. On the nose, it offers a rich and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, dried flowers, spices, tobacco and a characteristic mineral background. In the mouth, the wine is powerful but balanced, with a solid tannic structure that supports a wide range of flavors, from black cherry and plum to nuances of chocolate, leather and liquorice. The acidity is well integrated, giving freshness and leading towards a long and persistent finish, typical of high quality Barolos.
Ideal in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, the Barolo "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" is a wine that enchants with its depth and elegance, offering an unforgettable tasting experience that exalts the virtues of Nebbiolo in one of its most expressive territories.
