Cesare Bussolo – Barolo La Serra – 2020

A new addition to Cesare Bussolo’s selection of wines, first vintage and among the new releases for 2020, Barolo La Serra is another masterpiece from this talented Langa boy. A vineyard considered among the most prestigious in the La Morra area, made famous by Roberto Voerzio in the 1990s, it is a fully south-facing slope with a sandy and marly composition from which wines of unique finesse and rough tannins are obtained. It is a high-density vineyard with 8000 vines per hectare in which about 1 kg of grapes per plant are harvested after numerous selections, producing 2500 bottles. Spontaneous fermentations both alcoholic and malolactic in steel tanks with subsequent aging in small barrels for 24 months. A wine that reflects its provenance as sensations but amplified by the winning mentality of its creator, notes of fruit and spices with toasted nuances, on the palate it is forthright and elegant with a matrix of great personality but enlightening drinkability. Cesare, you’ve done it again!

Description

Cesare Bussolo young producer, after graduating from the Enological School of Alba began his journey under the protective wing of the great Roberto Voerzio, where he still works.
He follows the same philosophy as his master, maximum care in the vineyard and absolute respect for the environment, very low yields, more than 8000 vines per hectare and little interventionism in the vineyard. Finally since 2012 he manages to fulfill his greatest dream..for the first time he produces his own wine, starting with a limited production of a very good and qualitative Barbera in the Santa Lucia vineyard in La Morra. The guy so far has come a long way, in 2014 he started producing the first bottles of Barolo in the Fossati vineyard, but today we see on the market, also a classic Barolo, a Dolcetto and a new Barbera.. “Roscaleto”! one of the best Barberas ever. A few thousand bottles produced per type of wine…but what can we say…Cesare’s wines are a great guarantee.
