Barolo Bussia 2018
Parusso
The Parusso Bussia Barolo is one of the most premium wines produced by Parusso and reflects this more masuline style of the apperlation due to it's unique soil, the wines are full of depth and complexity often showing darker, richer tones. The two vineyards used to produce these top quality nebbiolo grapes are Rocche (bought by Parusso in 1925), in the South/South East area and Munie (Bought by Parusso in 1989) in the South Western part of Bussia. As a result these two vineyards bring diversity and multi-layered tones to the wine. These vineyards are very close to the winery and mean a huge amount to the family having been brought up literally in these vineyards.
Here are some more intricate details about the vineyard, harvest and wine-making. 5500 vines are planted per hectare and the age of vine ranges between 15-50 years old. The soil is a real mix, making up a diverse terroir which is reflected in the wine, the main soil types are: Sandstone, Marn, Clay and Chalk. All the grapes are carefully hand-harvested into baskets.
The wine has a long maceration and fermentation is initiated by indigenous yeasts. Then the wine is aged in small oak barrels for 18 months and then in bottle for 6 months.
"The 2018 Barolo Bussia is a blend of Rocche and Munie. Pliant and racy in the glass, the 2018 is laced with dark fruit, mocha, sweet spice and licorice. Dried rose petal, mint, spice, kirsch, new French oak and dried flowers all build with aeration. The oak imprint is a bit prominent at this stage, but these wines have proven over time to have the substance to handle the wood." 93 plus Galloni, Vinous

Super charged on the nose, this is a step up again from both the Mariondino and Mosconi, albeit with a similar aromatic profile - floral tones and sweet red cherry pits but more expressive. Gorgeous minerality and excellent precision on the nose too with strawberry, red cherry and raspberry notes. Excellent acidity, this also has abundant tannins but they are slightly more velvety, rounded and coursing. The texture is so appealing but this has a different depth and edge of minerality to it, slightly dry on the palate but velvety with rich but defined notes of red fruits,cherry sweets, cola, milk chocolate and violets. The florality is there on the palate too. This is smooth, juicy and clean - you get the succulence but also the salinity, the ripe fruit and plushness but also the refinement and delicacy of each individual flavour. This is seriously expressive, fully flavoured with such a long length, it goes on and on. A supremely fine wine, I love it!

Piedmont
Piemonte, in the north-western corner of the Italian peninsula, sits at the foot of the Western Alps, which encircle the region to the north and west. Its seasons are very distinctive: hot, dry summers, cold winters, and temperate springs and autumns are common with occasional fog during harvest time. Located in north-west Italy, surrounded by the Alps, Piedmont means literally “foot of the Mountain” in Italian. .
The richness and elegance of Piedmontese wines go perfectly with the rich and creamy cuisine typical of Piedmont, with meat and risotto at the heart of every menu, not to mention the most notable ingredient, the white truffle (tartufi bianchi). Piedmont has the highest percentage of quality wines in the whole of Italy. It is home to some of the most robust, long-lived wines of the world, many of which are specific to Piedmont and have not excelled anywhere else in the world. The wines of Barolo and Barbaresco are two of Italy’s best. Like fine Bordeaux and Burgundy, these Nebbiolo wines age very well.

Grape Varieties
Nebbiolo is the grape used in Piedmont's most important DOCGs: Barolo, Barbaresco and Gattinara. Barbera, a dark-skinned variety, is responsible for a growing number of superlative wines, labelled as Barbera del Monferrato, Barbera d’Asti or Barbera d'Alba.
Another important red grape is Dolcetto, with several DOCs to its name (d'Alba, d'Acqui and di Ovada are the top three). Although its name means 'little sweet one', Dolcetto gives red wines with an appetizing, gently bitter finish. Although Piedmont is known as a red-wine region, there are whites that have to be mentioned: Moscato d’Asti and sparkling Asti Spumante, both made from Moscato grapes; Gavi is the most renown still white, made from the Cortese grape, a local variety which gives a clean and citrussy white. Crisp, floral Arneis is the grape used for whites in Roero appellation..
