Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Piero Busso, Barbaresco, Albesani, VV, 2013

Light bright and clear. So vivid for such an intense and sophisticated wine. Fine-tuned and fresh. The fruit is complete and layered yet has such drive. Gorgeous alpine strawberry, loganberry and raspberry fruit dance daintily and deftly across the palate. There is a little padding to this, too. A soft cloak of fine tannins wrap around the lively fruit. This has it all. A beauty. From the middle part of the Albesani vineyard, the steepest part of the hill, and exclusively from old vines planted in 1948 from the original Nebbiolo michet clone. Aged for 36 months in large casks. 1025 bottles were made.

Piero Busso

Piero Busso

Piero Busso, with his bright young son Pierguido, is starting to drive quality to greater heights at this top-drawer family Barbaresco domaine. Founded by Guido Busso in the fifties, this domaine is based in Neive and has at its core some fine Nebbiolo vines planted in the Albesani vineyard opposite the winery. The estate's fine holdings don't stop there, however, also boasting parcels in the fabulous Gallina vineyard and Treiso's San Stunet. Winemaking is traditional here, long and slow, up to 45 days maceration on the skins, and ageing is in 25hl slavonian oak casks for two years. These will sweep you off your feet, bewitching high toned pure fruit and floral aspects are their hallmarks. Expressive and seductive, these are wines that have something to say about where they are from.
