Piero Busso
The Busso philosophy was clear right from the start: to make wines that expressed their terroir. The estate was established in 1948 by Guido, Piero’s father. As time went by, our idea of wine became more and more precise. Following Guido’s untimely death, at the end of the 1970s, Piero Busso, who had always been closely bound to the area, took over as head of the winery, producing the first bottle of Albesani Barbaresco in 1982. An important step, which clarified the direction to be taken by our production from that moment on. The wine we strive to bottle is a wine that respects the land, the vine and the fruit. A wine that is able to draw out the characteristics of all three, without distorting them and without forcing things.
Description
The 2022 vintage is fresh and approachable, yet still reflects the classic character of Nebbiolo. With aromas of red cherries, rose petals, and a touch of earthy spice, it’s vibrant on the palate, with fine tannins and crisp acidity. The flavours of fresh red berries, tobacco, and a hint of dried herbs are balanced by a lovely minerality.
