Barolo D.O.C.G. Bussia Riserva

The mention Riserva means selection, longer aging and great quality. We select the grapes from the Bricco vineyard. The complexity of the bouquet inebriates the nose with hints of spices, dry flowers and underbrush.

From the first sip, the excellent concentration of fine and sweet tannins fill the mouth without being aggressive. Great persistence of taste, typical of a great wine.
