Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Nov 19
The 2013 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is an attractive and decidedly exotic wine. Hard candy, kirsch, wild flowers, and sweet spice give the 2013 striking inner perfume. I find a slight element of sweetness distracting and also out of character with the personality of the year, but, at the same time, there is no question the 2013 represents a significant improvement over some of the earlier vintages of this wine.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
