SKU: PIEBUSNEB21
Despite emerging as one of Barbaresco’s most captivating producers, the wines of Piero Busso continue to fly under the radar, perhaps because it’s still early days since most of the changes have occurred, and perhaps also, as the Busso family are very low-key, humble people. Nonetheless, it would be difficult to find a more exciting ‘new’ grower within the DOCG’s boundaries, especially if you love the classical style of Piemontese wine.

Grape Variety

Nebbiolo

Region

Italy

Size

750ml

Wine Style

Red - juicy, smooth, medium-bodied

Palate

This is just a gorgeous, old-school rendition of Nebbiolo. Pale coloured, medium-bodied, and loaded with red and blue fruits, hints of rosewater, red meat and leather, as well as plenty of powdery tannins. A Nebbiolo to open when you’re in the mood for a Pinot-weighted wine. Gorgeous.

Vintage

2021

Food Pairing

Mushroom risotto or antipasto.

”Plum, blueberry, cherry, mint and spice, grilled meat, rose oil. Interesting aromatics in a way, and kind of different. It has a sweetness to fruit, but a also plus savoury, a firm powdery grip to tannin, and a finish of good length. Like this. Has personality and substance. I reckon it will improve in bottle too.”
