2018 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Parusso Bussia is a captivating red wine hailing from the esteemed Barolo region, where the noble Nebbiolo grape reaches its zenith. This 2018 vintage showcases a medium to full-bodied profile, with a commendable balance between acidity and tannins that contributes to its overall structure. The fruit intensity shines through vibrant notes of ripe cherry, red plum, and subtle hints of dried floral nuances, complemented by an elegant underpinning of earthy undertones. Its dryness enhances the wine's complexity, making it a delightful counterpart to rich, hearty dishes while promising to evolve beautifully with a bit of cellar time. Each sip of this exquisite wine speaks to the unique terroir of Barolo, delivering an experience that is both sophisticated and rewarding.

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.
