Piero Busso – Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese – 2021
It can be said that this is Albesani’s first label, released on the market in 1982, which marked the beginning of the winery’s production history. The Busso family has always believed in it and manages 1.20 hectares. The Borgese vineyard is the 30-50-year-old south-west facing part of the vineyard that produces 3,000 bottles that capture the noble elegance of Albesani. Selection of grapes, fermentation and long maceration in steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in large barrels for 24 months. A very approachable wine, the aromas are intoxicating and defined, the palate is harmonious, easy but rich in sensations typical of an important Barbaresco.

Description
Among the countless stories of the Langa there is one that has always fascinated me because of its genuine tradition that has never changed for more than 70 years, it is the Piero Busso winery, Piedmontese by birth and in fact. Founded in 1948 in Neive on the Albesani hill by Guido Busso, a hard worker and intelligent farmer as he was already beginning to enhance the quality of Nebbiolo by locating the most suitable areas. The winery passed into the hands of his son Piero, who, following his father’s teachings, decided to produce a Barbaresco that would be a photocopy of the terroir; thus it was that the first vintage of Albesani was released in 1982. Over the years specific plots have been purchased so as to respect a small and family size, today in fact there are 10 hectares where the Gallina and San Stunet vineyards are also included for a limited production each year, not only Nebbiolo but also Barbera, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. A very natural style of approach with little intervention following a certified organic regime, no use of chemicals so as to preserve the link with the territory typical of the wines, very low yields and in the cellar they work traditional without too much use of technology with long macerations and the use of large barrels in the aging without ever filtering each wine so as to make them even more essential. Purely family-run even today where they pay homage to their past, a small producer who has now become one of the Greats for Barbaresco, this is Piero Busso!
