Claudio Fenocchio's mastery is evident in how he elicits the quintessence of Bussia in this wine. It unfolds with measured elegance, unhurried in its expression. The bouquet is rich with warm Marasca cherries, blood orange zest, fading rose, wild sage, and forest floor. Effortlessly, it glides across the palate, the 2020's tannins are soft, rounded, and plush, embracing the mixed berry preserves sprinkled with baking spices while the lively acidity elevates the experience, ensuring a fresh palate. This stands out as one of the premier wines of this vintage. Drink Now through 2045. *Editors' Choice* (JP)

This is structured and meaty with a medium to full body and firm but very fine tannins. Ripe red and dark berries with hints of walnuts and tar. It’s well made and focused with a lingering finish.

The 2020 Barolo Bussia is the most expressive of these Barolos from Claudio Fenocchio. Ample and layered in feel, the 2020 offers up a compelling mix of dark fruit, mocha, spice, leather, dried herbs and incense. There's real penetrating power to the aromatics and flavors here. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural pedigree. The 2020 is beautifully done. (AG)

Leather, blue flower, camphor and tobacco aromas lead the nose on the 2020 Bussia from Giacomo Fenocchio. The tight, savory palate offers ripe raspberry, strawberry, flinty mineral and ground clove alongside taut, fine-grained tannins.

Notes

The "Bussia" vineyard in Monforte d'Alba is renowned for producing some of Barolo’s most powerful and complex wines, and Giacomo Fenocchio's 2020 vintage is no exception. This wine combines depth, structure, and elegance, making it a classic expression of this prestigious cru.
