Barbaresco, San Stunet, 2022

Aromatic and open in style, the 2022 is a wine of ripe alpine fruits such as wild berries and red cherries, with darker cassis and liquorice typical of a warmer vintage. Sinewy and sculpted, with a juicy finishing palate. A cuvee that this year offers a lot of complex fruit expression and crushed stones on the finish. 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 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.
