The Granbussia comes from the best vineyards in the Bussia Cru of Monforte d'Alba, the valued heart of the Barolo. Aged for thirty months in oak casks and refined in bottle for another six years, the Granbussia represents the purest and most virtuous essence of three different historical Bussia cru: the Romirasco, Cicala, Colonnello vineyards and is only produced when Aldo's son Giacomo feels the vintage expresses the essence of the wine. Details Press Vintage: 2012 Format: 750ml Minimum order: 1 bottle Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Varietal(s): Nebbiolo 99 POINTS, JAMES SUCKLINGGlorious aromas of roses and other flowers with blackberries and ripe plums. Spectacular. Perfection. Full-bodied, firm and chewy with polished and tight tannins. Slightly dusty. Great length and beauty. Very, very persistent on the palate. Needs another two or three years to soften, but already a classic.
