Barolo Bussia Riserva

The family's Riserva was produced by Saverio (Livia's grandfather) beginning in the 1960s. Bussia is almost 300 hectares of vineyards and is the second MGA* of Barolo by extension. It starts at the cellar’s borders and continues all the way up to the gates of the Monforte d'Alba town. The production of this cru is very limited, with around 2,500 bottles each vintage and only in specific years. Complex, enveloping taste, spicy notes, and dimension combine to produce this Barolo with extreme longevity over time. It is incredible how harmonious it will already appear even when ‘young’, despite having a very long life ahead. Its persistence is infinite.     * The Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive (aka MGA - Additional Geographical Mentions), in the case of Barolo, are 181 and follow the French concept of Crus, indicating production areas or, more properly, the French definition of Climat, that is, specific portions of vineyards with well-marked boundaries and which is historically known for its high wine-growing vocation.
