Giacomo Fenocchio 'Bussia' Barolo 2013

$350.00 per unit (750ml)

Barolo DOCG

100% Nebbiolo. Bussia in Monforte d’Alba is one of Barolo’s legendary cru vineyards, typically producing wines of great depth and power with great aging potential. The estate has 5ha of vines (average of 30 years old) in Bussia with a south-southwest aspect. Clay, Helvetian limestone, calcareous sediments and a strong presence of iron characterises the soil. The winemaking is traditional with long natural ferments (around 40 days) followed by 6 months in steel to cohere, and then ageing in 35–50hl Slavonian casks for 30 months.

This vintage displays an enviable mix of power, acidity, ripeness and harmony similar in quality to the legendary 2010 vintage. Maturing very slowly over the next 25-35 years. R&R
