Vigna San Stefanetto

By Piero Busso, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy

Piero Busso Vigna San Stefanetto

Riper, richer and more concentrated, with great acidity and a long, persistent finish. A full-bodied wine that reaches almost 15.5% at full maturity.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red with great consistency. Complex, fruity, slightly spicy nose. Pleasant to drink even when young.
