Tasting notes
Monforte d’Alba. Palish ruby. Closed and very subdued on the nose with only hints of raspberry. Lush raspberry fruit, polished and succulent while the gripping, slightly drying tannins add contrast to the finish. (WS)

A youthful bright brick red color, the 2020 Barolo Bussia is spicy and forward with notes of licorice, peppercorn, red cherries, burnt orange peel, and dried soil. Midweight and grippy, it has refreshing acidity, with good length and a bright, clean finish. Drink 2025-2037.
Showing ripe strawberry aromas with dark, tarry notes at the back, the Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2020 Barolo Bussia is a full-bodied Barolo with savory tobacco leaf, crushed rose, toasted spice and ferrous earthy sensations. The tannins are dry, and the wine show dark austerity. This is a more robust production of 10,706 bottles.
The 2020 Barolo Bussia is one of the most impressive wines in this range from Einaudi. Ample and explosive on the palate, with striking depth, the Bussia has a level of complexity that is not found in the other wines. Strong spice and balsamic inflections weave through a core of fruit in this resonant, wonderfully expressive Barolo.
