Bussia

2010 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Giacomo Fenocchio Bussia from the esteemed Barolo region is a remarkable expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing its classic characteristics beautifully. This red wine presents a full-bodied profile, offering a luxurious mouthfeel that encapsulates the richness of the vintage. With a high level of acidity, it delivers a vibrant and lively experience, invigorating the palate with each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing notes of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle hints of floral undertones. Robust tannins lend structure to the wine, making it noteworthy and firm while allowing for graceful aging. This wine is dry, perfectly balancing the fruitiness with a concentrated finish that reflects the terroir of Barolo.

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.
