A faithful expression of Barolo Riserva, it reveals an aromatic profile characterised by hints of rose, truffle and leather. On the palate, clear notes of black cherry, spices and aromatic herbs emerge, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a complex structure that ensures a long and pleasant persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003eBussia\u003c\/strong\u003e vineyard, a historic terroir where the rows grow at around three hundred metres above sea level with optimal south-west exposure. The vines sink their roots into soil of \u003cstrong\u003eHelvetian origin\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed of clay and limestone sediments rich in iron. This specific geological combination, together with low yields, is crucial in giving the wine its pronounced \u003cstrong\u003edepth of flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e and remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest, carried out in mid-October, marks the start of a traditional vinification process. Fermentation takes place naturally in steel tanks, thanks to the action of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The key stage is the ancient technique of \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, which lasts for ninety days to extract the finest components from the skins. Afterwards, the wine rests in steel before maturing for a long time in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, completing its ageing in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn authentic expression of Piedmont, Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 by Giacomo Fenocchio originates from Helvetian soils rich in iron. Its elegance is the result of the ancient \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting 90 days with indigenous yeasts, a technique that allows for the extraction of intense aromas of rose and truffle. The multi-award-winning 2019 vintage matures for four years in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, acquiring remarkable complexity and velvety tannins.
