Product name:<\/strong> Barolo DOCG Bussia Method:<\/strong> classic, traditional method (without any barrique passage) Empty bottle weight:<\/strong> 450 g % of Grape \/ C\u00e9page:<\/strong> nebbiolo da Barolo 100% Dry extract:<\/strong> 27.4 g\/l Barolo DOCG Bussia<\/strong> comes from a vineyard the winery has been cultivating and vinifying only since the 2020 harvest<\/strong>, in one of the most renowned areas for Barolo production.<\/p>\n We are in Monforte d\u2019Alba<\/strong>, on the border with Barolo. Here, the sandy component of the soil gives the wine an elegant<\/strong>, yet at the same time complex<\/strong>, profile.<\/p>\n The plot is very small and production is limited: this vineyard yields around 2,000 bottles per year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Work in the vineyard follows a careful and continuous approach, from Guyot winter pruning<\/strong> to cluster selection during harvest, including fruit set management, canopy cleaning, and shoot trimming.<\/p>\n Vinification takes place in the cellar in Barolo, with crushing<\/strong>, traditional fermentation<\/strong> lasting about 30 days, and extended maceration.<\/p>\n The wine then ages for 18 months in wooden casks<\/strong>, followed by around 6 months in bottle<\/strong> before release.<\/p>\n It is a Barolo that can already be appreciated after just a few months in bottle<\/strong>, but one that evolves over time<\/strong> and gains even more elegance.<\/p>\n The label tells an important story too: it was conceived and designed by Silvia\u2019s daughter<\/strong> and depicts the ciabot<\/strong> on the hill of the Bussia vineyard. A tangible sign of a new generation<\/strong> beginning to join the work in the cellar.<\/p>\n It is ruby red<\/strong> with very intense garnet reflections.<\/p>\n Its aroma<\/strong> is pleasant and delicate<\/strong>, with hints of dried rose and notes of licorice and vanilla from the wood.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find it velvety<\/strong>, dry<\/strong>, and round<\/strong>, with a rich body and a well-balanced structure.<\/p>\n Silvia imagines it with a plate of tajarin with truffle<\/strong> or with a board of aged cheeses<\/strong>, two pairings that match its structure and elegance beautifully.<\/p>\n If you want to go beyond the usual pairing, try it at the end of the meal<\/strong> with a piece of dark chocolate<\/strong>: an original match, almost like a digestif, for an intense and surprising finish.<\/p>\n Serving temperature:<\/strong> 16\u201318 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n …You\u2019re looking for a limited-production Barolo<\/strong> with a traditional approach, enjoyable even when young but capable of evolving over time.<\/p>\n The Night We Met – Lord Huron<\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/intl-it\/track\/5yJaXWIErrrsjQ3J0eR5aK?si=57d9e9b7f0d9489c<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":64410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[367],"product_tag":[653],"pa_denomination":[32],"pa_vine":[23],"pa_producer":[2616],"class_list":{"0":"post-64402","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-barolo-en","7":"product_tag-aphrodisiac-wines","8":"product_shipping_class-francesco-borgogno","9":"pa_denomination-docg-barolo","10":"pa_product-type-dry","11":"pa_product-type-still","12":"pa_vine-nebbiolo","13":"pa_producer-francesco-borgogno-en","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\n
