This bright, garnet-colored Barolo delivers a tasty, streamlined style with pretty accents of cherry fruit, spice and natural rubber. There’s tightness and density on the finish that will soften with time.

Here’s a vinous and youthful Barolo that definitely needs five-plus years of bottle aging. The aromas are fresh and piquant, including forest berry, cola, balsam and white truffle. The mouthfeel is satisfying and pleasantly intense with a long tannic fade.

This Barolo Riserva delivers loads of pleasure and good cheer thanks to those delicious aromas of melted chocolate, vanilla cream and bursting red cherry. Ethereal tones of spice, cola and licorice color the close and help give dimension to the wine’s soft, velvety texture.

Despite its young age, Barolo Bussia Munie already shows signs of age and evolution: the fruit is on the dried or candied side and the oak tones are dusty and well integrated. This wine shows harmony and class, with tight-drying tannins on the close.

This Riserva opens with a garnet color and browning edges, followed by sophisticated aromas of old spice, cola, licorice and tar. The wine treads over the palate in light, delicate steps and leaves loads of menthol and eucalyptus-like intensity. Hold five years or more.

This is a delicious wine with spice overtones lavished over mature fruit and wild cherry. The liveliness of the fruit is what sets this wine apart, and ultimately guarantees the wine’s longevity. More bright berry nuances are woven within the natural tightness of the tannins.
