Harsh, unyielding tannins overwhelm this Bussia bottling, creating a clunky, disjointed experience. The 90-day maceration has extracted astringency rather than depth, leaving baked fruit notes and earthy funk where Nebbiolo's elegance should shine. This misses the mark for both the vineyard's pedigree and the Riserva category.
