Fogliati – Barolo Bussia – 2018

Barolo Bussia was produced for the first time in 2016, not by chance this vintage, considered one of the greatest ever, was chosen. Clay soils, 70-year-old vines, only 3,000 bottles produced and vinified in large oak barrels for 30 months. The result is a high-end wine, not only the child of a remarkable vintage, but the result of qualitative work of extreme research and commitment. In 2018, Barolo from the single vineyard Bussia was released for the second time. Vinification in this case was about 24 months in large oak barrels, precisely to enhance this slightly cooler vintage. The result is always more than positive, where the earthy and dusty notes typical of Bussia are well highlighted. A wine with a well-delineated structure that will yield remarkable results over time. Don’t miss it.

Description

The Fogliati winery is one of the new discoveries in the Langa wine scene. Although it is a relatively young winery, it actually has a 100-year history behind it. The family has always had vineyards between the area of Bussia di Monforte and Pugnane di Castiglione Falletto, but never managed directly, but left in the care of prestigious Barolo wineries. The turning point came in 2010 thanks to the two grandchildren Annalisa and Guido, driven by enthusiasm and the desire to try to make unique and more than anything else give an identity to the family’s historic vineyards, starting to get their hands on the vineyards of about 70 years old and try to make wine from a few thousand bottles of Nebbiolo and Barolo. Motivation, clear ideas, maniacal care of the vineyards and respect for the wines by adopting a traditional style in the cellar. Classy, fine, silky, perfumed wines, pure expression of terroir with well-defined tannins without being too heavy. Interesting discovery!
