2019 Barolo Bussia, Fogliati, Piedmont, Italy

Description

The Barolo Bussia is a top selection from Podere Fogliati’s prized 80-year-old, south-west-facing vineyard. Only 2,500 bottles were produced this year. The soils here are pure marl, with layers of silt and limestone clay. This Barolo offers up old-vine depth, with flavours of dark rose and tea alongside mineral flashes. Layered, tightly-coiled and complex, this needs time in bottle to develop.

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Poderi Fogliati

In the very heart of Barolo, where the communes of Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, La Morra and Monforte d’Alba meet, we find the rising hill of Pugnane which leads to the northern tip of the Bussia cru. This special location is home to the relatively unknown cantina Podere Fogliati, run by the vibrant and ambitious Annalisa Chiappa. After time working as a lawyer in Miami, she returned to her family home in 2016 with one goal: to realise the enormous potential of her family estate.
