Tasting notes
The 2019 Barolo Bussia Dardi Le Rose is an exotic beauty that very much captures all of the nuances of this site. Sweet floral and savory notes open first. Layered and also quite potent, the 2019 has a ton to offer, but it also needs time to come around. Graphite, rose petal, mint, sage and sweet pipe tobacco extend the finish, with veins of tannin that wrap it all together. Superb.

Monforte d’Alba. Mid ruby. Tight but impressively minerally nose with lifted raspberry and iron. With aeration, finely perfumed and with hints of what looks like oak. Elegant, polished and amazingly light of touch. Persistent, long, sandy tannins and lively raspberry fruit. Endlessly long. Poised. (WS)
The 2019 Barolo Riserva Bussia Dardi Beppe Colla is captivating. Menthol, licorice, tobacco, dark baking spices and incense draw the taster in. Potent and imposing, with broad shoulders, the 2019 packs a pretty substantial punch. Deeply pitched spice and balsamic notes are classic Bussia all the way. This is undeniably impressive, but also in need of time.
