Ratings & Reviews
range from Einaudi. Ample and explosive on the palate, with striking depth, the Bussia has a level of complexity that is not found in the other wines. Strong spice and balsamic inflections weave through a core of fruit in this resonant, wonderfully
expressive Barolo." Drink 2025-2038. - Antonio Galloni (Nov 2023)
crushed rose, toasted spice and ferrous earthy sensations. The tannins are dry, and the wine show dark austerity. This is a more robust production of 10,706
bottles." - Monica LArner (Apr 2024)
mouthwatering, and well-centered, this wine offers good density and a lot of character without being in your face. Drink Now - 2045." - Jeff Porter (Sep 2024)
