Aromas of red plums, raspberry bush, cocoa and some cedar with wet earth and undergrowth notes. Full-bodied with broad tannins that are soft and velvety. It has a firm backbone and vivid acidity which highlights the fruit in the flavorful, lingering finish. Better after 2026.

The 2017 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Mondoca is a gorgeous, sensual wine. The bouquet alone is captivating. Dried rose petal, spice, menthol, leather, lavender and dried herb notes soar out of the glass. The raciness of this warm, dry vintage comes through in the wine's inner sweetness, but there is terrific freshness and plenty of site character as well. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a Barolo.
