Vinitaly, April 2022 – Dosio Vigneti, in the heart of Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage area, presents the Barolo D.O.C.G. Bussia 2017 at Vinitaly, which complements the winery’s already excellent offer that, among the Barolo crus, includes Barolo Fossati and Barolo Serradenari.

BUSSIA is a Cru (MGA) of exceptional level, capable of combining power, elegance and pleasantness. Dosio Vigneti’s vineyard, of about one hectare, is located in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba and is over 25 years old. Positioned on sandstone soil formed by sandy compaction and yellowish white marl, it produced – during the 2017 vintage – around 2.600 bottles of fine Barolo.

This vintage was harvested at the end of October and, once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for a long time in large 20-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks before being bottled and aged in the cellar until sale.

Organoleptically, it is a wine of great olfactory breadth, ranging from fruity and spicy perceptions, from cherry and currant to red fruit jam accompanied by menthol and liquorice notes. The palate has great balance and excellent structure with never intrusive tannic perception. The elegant and enveloping tannins give a long and pleasant persistence and good vigour.

The recommended pairing is with baked duck breast, rump with mushrooms, the classic braised meat of the Piedmontese tradition to a board of hard mature cheeses.
