“The 2019 Bussia from Giacomo Fenocchio captures the soul and refinement of the historic heart of this vineyard site in Monforte. It opens with enticing scents of woodland berry, rose, cedar, star anise and camphor that on the full-bodied palate give way to ripe cherry, blood orange, licorice and menthol. A backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins provides support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and loaded with energy. Still youthfully austere, give the time to fully develop.” -KO

“Giacomo Fenocchio is one of the producers who admitted that the 2019 vintage is for him better than the incoming rounder 2020. His Bussia plot is within the ‘Sottana’ part of one of the biggest MGAs, towards the commune of Barolo. His traditional style with submerged cap, long maceration and ageing in botti is enhanced here by graceful aromas of milk and mint, dried cherry, rose, and chalky minerality. The attack is firm but the delicacy of its amazing freshness is well integrated and lets the wine flow with balance, despite significant extraction. There's a kind of glycerol layer running over the palate, with a very sweet tannic finish. Most likely the best Bussia of 2019.”
