Varietal Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy's finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means 'fog' in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.

Country Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

Appellation Barolo

Barolo’s star grape is Nebbiolo, a finicky yet expressive variety that reaches its zenith this unique terroir. The region’s distinct microclimates and soils contribute to Nebbiolo’s complexity, resulting in wines with robust tannins, high acidity, and exceptional aging potential. Barolo wines, often referred to as “the king of wines,” are characterized by their deep garnet hue and complex bouquet, offering aromas of roses, tar, truffles, and red fruit. The aging process is significant, requiring at least 38 months, with a minimum of 18 months spent in wooden casks. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that evolve beautifully over time, displaying a harmonious balance of power and finesse. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Barolo provides a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking, showcasing the profound marriage of tradition, terroir, and Nebbiolo’s distinctive expression.

WE 98pts

Wine Enthusiast

#3 in Top 100 Cellar Selection of 2026. From one of Barolo's most revered sites comes a wine of quiet confidence. The limestone-rich soils of Bussia created something profound in 2021. Fresh roses and dark cherries float up, then wild strawberries, fresh tobacco, and mountain herbs fill every corner. The structure feels perfectly calibrated, firm yet graceful. This is Barolo finding its future while honoring its past, and it's a wine that makes you lean in closer with each sip.

Winery Notes

Rated 98 - Combining structure and earthy finesse, the compelling 2019 90 Dì opens with aromas recalling new leather, blue flower, forest floor, dark spice and ripe berry. Full-bodied and vibrant, the compelling palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, strawberry compote, truffle, blood orange and tobacco set against a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins. Showing the austere nature of the vintage and serious longevity, it has bright acidity that lends great tension. Set this aside as the best is yet to come. Drink 2031"2044. - Kerin O'Keefe

The 2019 Riserva hails from a vineyard in the Munie subzone of Bussia. Treated with its signature long submerged cap maceration of 90 days, it delivers the spirit of Riserva (requiring time) with the sinewy contours of the 2019 vintage. The nose becomes more and more compelling as it sits in the glass: from roasted chestnut, leather and grilled herbs, it morphs into dusty rusted iron then pressed flowers. There is vigour to the palate as firm, dry tannins command. Rosemary and mint repeat, joined by chalky minerals and a pop of blood orange, finishing with a pleasantly bitter bite.

Displaying a bright brick red color, the 2019 Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 Di is more reserved and compact, with nervous energy in its notes of orange peel, dusty earth, cranberries, fresh spices, and anise. It’s compact and fresh on the palate, with a medium-bodied frame, angular yet ripe tannins, energetic acidity, and a mouthwatering, persistent mineral texture. It has a chiseled feel and is built for the long haul. Drink 2027-2050.

WS 94pts

Wine Spectator

Iron, graphite and tar notes underline this tightly wound red, whose macerated cherry and plum flavors are fading yet remain locked up. There’s a smooth texture midpalate, while the finish still exhibits considerable tannins. Best from 2027 through 2045.

VM 93pts

Vinous Media

The 2019 Barolo Bussia Riserva 90 dì is a potent, austere Barolo. Bright red fruit, iron, chalk, mint and white pepper all race across the palate. I am not sure extended maceration is beneficial here. If anything, the tannins feel piercingly tannic and angular. A touch of oak sweetness emerges with time. The 2019 is still an outstanding wine, but it can't match the 2021s for their polish and overall sophistication.
