Bussia with the volume turned down, but unmistakably itself. Dark cherry, tobacco, dried orange peel, leather and balsamic spice, the vineyard's signature aromatic intensity is all there, just drawn in tighter lines than a warmer year would allow. There's genuine breadth and weight on the mid-palate, the fruit full and generous within 2022's naturally leaner frame. The spiced, resinous character lingers long on the finish.

Giuseppe Rinaldi

Barolo purist in Barolo's most traditionalist mold. Rinaldi farms Brunate and Bussia alongside declassified Langhe bottlings, working with long macerations, large old oak, and minimal intervention.
