VinousThe 2017 Barolo Bussia is a dark, sensual wine that captures all of the nuance that makes the best wines from Barolo so beguiling. Spice, menthol, sage, licorice and dark cherry fruit all open in the glass. The 2017 is deep and layered, yet also remains light on its feet. I especially admire the transparency here.

James SucklingA subtle nebbiolo here with medium body, silky texture and lots of cherry and red-berry aromas and flavors. Some tobacco, too. Easygoing, integrated, drink-me-now Barolo.
Barolo is known as the “King of Wines,” hailing from the rolling hills of Piedmont in northern Italy, and crafted entirely from the noble Nebbiolo grape. It’s famous for powerful tannins, high acidity, and complex aromas of roses, tar, cherries, truffles, and earthy spice—a wine that can age gracefully for decades. The vineyards bask in fog (“nebbia”), which helps the Nebbiolo grapes ripen slowly and develop intense flavors. Traditionally, Barolo demanded years of cellaring to tame its fierce structure, but modern styles are becoming more approachable earlier. Whether classic or contemporary, Barolo remains a wine lover’s treasure—a bold, elegant expression of Italian winemaking heritage that practically insists on being paired with rich dishes like braised meats, truffles, and hearty pasta.
Nebbiolo is a red wine grape primarily cultivated in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. This grape is renowned for producing some of Italy's most prestigious wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are characterized by high acidity, firm tannins, and complex flavors that often include red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, along with floral and tar-like aromas. These wines are known for their aging potential, developing greater complexity, softer tannins, and a brick-orange hue as they mature. Nebbiolo's expression can vary across different vineyard sites, showcasing the influence of terroir on its character. While it requires patience due to its tannic structure, Nebbiolo rewards wine enthusiasts with a remarkable combination of elegance and power, making it a celebrated varietal in the world of fine Italian wines.
