Barolo Bussia 2022

The Barolo DOCG 'Bussia' by the historic Giacomo Fenocchio estate (Monforte d'Alba) stands as one of the purest, most uncompromising, and traditional expressions of the renowned Bussia cru. Sourced from a 5-hectare parcel perched at 300 meters above sea level with prime South-West exposure, this pure Nebbiolo is born from 35-year-old vines planted on classic Helvetian soils rich in clay, limestone, and iron deposits.

Cellar protocols strictly adhere to the family's ultra-traditional methodology led by Claudio Fenocchio: spontaneous natural fermentation with native yeasts and an extended 40-day skin contact maceration in stainless steel tanks. The aging journey involves 6 months in stainless steel followed by 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks (35-50 hl) and further bottle refinement. Yielding roughly 25.000 bottles annually, Fenocchio's Bussia emerges as an austere, deeply structured, and exceptionally age-worthy masterpiece.
