Ceretto Barolo Bussia DOCG 2019
A$415.00
Description
Ceretto's Barolo Bussia originates from the illustrious Bussia Soprana, a renowned cru nestled between the municipalities of Monforte d'Alba and Barolo. The Nebbiolo fruit, carefully cultivated on a 7,000 square meter plot, embodies the essence of this distinctive terroir in Monforte d'Alba. A mere 3,500 1/1 bottles and 200 magnums are meticulously crafted to encapsulate the essence of this exceptional site.
Navigating the expansive landscape of the esteemed DOCG Barolo, MGA Bussia poses a delightful challenge in pinpointing its exact wine style. However, in this captivating realm, the Ceretto family proudly distinguishes their expression from Bussia Soprana, emphasizing its "pronounced red-fruit characteristics" that set it apart within the DOCG. This Barolo consistently unfolds as a masterpiece, characterized by remarkable depth and richness. Its allure lies in a fruit-forward profile, complemented by the caress of silky tannins that gracefully guide the palate toward an enduring and impressive finish.

An organic wine, the Ceretto 2019 Barolo Bussia is a wine of beautiful depth and streamlined intensity. This Barolo offers dark fruit flavors, but you also get crushed stone, rust, a touch of exotic spice or grilled herb and fresh licorice root. The ensemble is beautiful, and what stands out most is the polished endurance and silky consistency of the mouthfeel.

A fine and open grained Bussia with a smoky, grilled meat and spice character to the plum fruit. Medium to full body. Soft and velvety and juicy. This will develop into something very serious.
