Barolo Bussia Attilio Ghisolfi 2019 750ml

Ruby-red almost-garnet color, with a flowery, rich and expansive nose. The taste is well-balanced, mature, deep and tannic, with a long finish. This wine is excellent for drinking from an early age.

Maceration on skins takes place over ten days at controlled temperatures, with natural fermentation taking place using native yeasts. The wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months, with a further aging of six months in the bottle at a controlled temperature.

On the palate it is rich and authoritative with medium tannins. Best paired with truffle dishes, roasted red meat and game or with mature cheeses.

94 Points - James Suckling

Attractive notes of raspberries, orange peel, red licorice, cedar and dried mushrooms. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins that have a chalky texture to them. The vivid acidity and underlining notes of juicy red berries give it joy and vibrancy. Mineral finish. Better after 2026.
