Bussia

1995 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Prunotto Bussia, a stunning red wine from the celebrated Barolo region, showcases the incredible depth and complexity that Nebbiolo can offer, particularly from the revered 1995 vintage. This wine presents a full-bodied character, enveloping the palate with rich layers of dark fruit flavors such as blackberry and plum, alongside enticing notes of rose petal and earthiness that Nebbiolo is known for. The acidity is bright and refreshing, providing a delightful lift that balances the wine's structure, while the tannins are firm yet refined, lending a remarkable longevity that harmonizes beautifully with its fruity intensity. As a dry wine, Prunotto Bussia exemplifies the elegance and aging potential of Barolo, making it a delightful choice for both Paul’s culinary pairings and contemplative sipping.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
