Barolo DOCG 'Bussia' 2015 (750 ml.) Marco Bonfante
The Barolo 'Bussia' by Marco Bonfante is the result of selecting the best grapes from the vineyard on the Bussia hill, at the border between Barolo and Monforte d’Alba. Bussia is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious crus in the Barolo area, with its unique terroir that imparts power and complexity to the resulting wine. This wine captivates with its elegance and complexity, featuring spicy and velvety aromas that envelop the nose and palate, leaving a long gustatory persistence. Fine yet intense, with hints of violet, spices, and rust. Dry, warm, full-bodied, and harmonious, with noble and elegant tannins. The Bussia is a wine particularly suited for aging: it can be enjoyed even after 25 years.

THE COMPANY
The Bonfante family has been producing wines in Nizza Monferrato (AT), Piedmont, for eight generations, in an area that represents the excellence zone for Barbera d’Asti production and which obtained the “Nizza DOCG” designation in 2014. It is a family-managed business. The owner, Marco Bonfante, a graduate of the Enological School of Alba, is a winemaker who oversees production and management of the company in all aspects. He is assisted by consulting enologist Gianluca Scaglione, agronomist Daniele Eberle, and his sister Micaela Bonfante, who manages administrative tasks and logistics organization. The company conveys an image of quality and seriousness, thanks to hard work, in Italy and especially abroad. It took only a few harvests for it to become a strongly representative reality of this territory. In addition to the vineyards in Nizza Monferrato, the best grapes from other areas of the region contribute to a rich and versatile range representing the most prestigious denominations of southern Piedmont. The produced grapes come from managed vineyards and selected vineyards, thanks to an intense and flourishing “nègoce” activity. All cultivation operations are monitored by the company agronomist until harvest. In the vineyard, thinning (also known as green harvesting) is carried out to reduce the plant's yield and improve grape quality.
