## Summary

Barolo from Bussia in Monforte d'Alba, the estate's largest cru holding at 5.93 ha.

## Tasting notes

Great structure and intense colour from the mineral terroir, firm enveloping tannins, long lasting aftertaste. Ripe raspberry and pomegranate with spicy, balsamic notes. 2022 vintage sheet: red plums and cherries, blue flowers, ground cloves and bark; medium-full body, fine velvety tannins, dry and juicy with some austerity on the finish, chalky and mineral.
