Barolo Bussia DOCG Ballarin

A Barolo from the Bussia area of Monforte d'Alba in Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo and aged for a long period in oak barrels. The soils there are rich in limestone and sand, which gives the wine a robust but elegant character. The nose is intense, with faded rose, violet, sweet spices and ripe red fruit. On the palate it is enveloping, with silky tannins and a savoury balance that carries the finish. It suits red meats, braises and aged cheeses.
