"Marco Parusso's 2016 Barolo Bussia brings together all the best elements of his style and year in a wine that is simply brilliant. Sweet floral notes, dark red fruit, mint, blood orange and spice infuse the 2016 with myriad layers of complexity. A bold, dramatic Barolo made from Rocche and Munie fruit, the 2016 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Marco Parusso makes some of the most idiosyncratic wines in Barolo. The style remains pretty much as it has been for some time. Parusso likes to harvest as late as possible. The fruit is then allowed to rest for a few days, (3 days in 2016 as opposed to 5-6 that was once the norm) prior to being crushed. The single vineyard Barolos are done with 100% whole clusters and aged in oak. The sum of these choices yields singular Barolos that need time to be fully expressive. In addition to these Barolos, Parusso plans to release Riservas from Rocche and Munie, both in Bussia, and Mosconi."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
