Tasting notes
The Ceretto 2020 Barolo Bussia comes from a tiny 0.7-hectare site in Bussia Soprano with 25-year-old vines. It offers a dark character of fruit with more richness, succulence and a slightly softer texture. This wine offers volume and depth with lots of purple and dark fruit at its core. The aging regime sees 12 months in French oak followed by an additional 24 months in larger barrel.

Monforte d’Alba. Lustrous mid ruby. Great purity of sweet raspberry fruit on the nose and with iodine hints. Polished, suave, fragrant fruit with sappy acidity running through and a fine grip of tannins on the finish. Still a little embryonic. (WS)
Floral aromas, rich red fruits and a rack full of spices come together beautifully in this structured, elegant wine with a long track record. Tangy cranberries, crisp red raspberries, rose petals and balsam interweave on nervy tannins and a medium to full body. Best from 2028 and beyond.
The 2020 Barolo Bussia opens with beguiling aromatics. Dried herbs, tobacco, mint, leather and crushed rose petal give the 2020 striking aromatic presence. There is a sense of dynamic energy and complexity that resonates beautifully in this vivid, young Barolo from Ceretto. The Bussia has it all.
