Barbaresco, San Stunet, 2020

Fresh herb and forest fruits and red cherries emanate from the glass. Glowing, with touches of crushed rock, camphor and licorice, the 2020 revealing a slightly more exotic profile than usual in this otherwise well-sculpted Barbaresco. From the commune of Treiso, San Stunet is a southeast facing vineyard at 400m altitude, one of the highest parts of Barbaresco. The soils are mostly limestone with some blue Marl. The site is late ripening, usually picked ten days after the others. Typically, the wine is more linear in structure than Busso’s other Barbarescos. Aged for two years in 25hl Slavonian oak casks.
