Introducing the magnificent 2016 Luigi Einaudi Barolo Bussia, a wine that exudes elegance and complexity. Hailing from the esteemed Bussia Soprana slope within the Barolo sub-region of Piedmont, Italy, this red wine showcases the true essence of Nebbiolo.

In the glass, the Luigi Einaudi Barolo Bussia presents a stunning ruby red color that captures the eye and sets the stage for an unforgettable tasting experience. The aromas are initially restrained, but as the wine opens up, delicate traces of strawberry and raspberry emerge, tantalizing the senses and drawing you in.

On the palate, this Barolo truly shines. Layers of long, fine tannins drape over luscious, pure fruit, creating a mouthfeel that is simultaneously mouthfilling and rich, yet never dense or heavy. The flavors of warmed dark cherry are complemented by subtle notes of anise and smoke, adding depth and complexity to the wine. A bright core of acidity lifts and energizes the flavors, leading to a finish that lingers with lingering spice notes.
