2020 Barolo Bussia Luigi Einaudi

The 2020 Barolo Bussia is one of the most impressive wines in this range from Einaudi. Ample and explosive on the palate, with striking depth, the Bussia has a level of complexity that is not found in the other wines. Strong spice and balsamic inflections weave through a core of fruit in this resonant, wonderfully expressive Barolo.

The 2020 Bussia shows great tension and structure. Boasting concentration and balance, it delivers juicy red cherry, pomegranate, white pepper and star anise before closing on a tangy mineral note recalling wet stone. A backbone of tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provides support. Give it a few more years to fully develop.

Notes of red plums and cherries with hints of blue flowers, ground cloves and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins rounding your palate. Dry and juicy with some austerity at the end. Chalky and mineral. Try after 2028.

Showing ripe strawberry aromas with dark, tarry notes at the back, the Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2020 Barolo Bussia is a full-bodied Barolo with savory tobacco leaf, crushed rose, toasted spice and ferrous earthy sensations. The tannins are dry, and the wine show dark austerity.

A youthful bright brick red color, the 2020 Barolo Bussia is spicy and forward with notes of licorice, peppercorn, red cherries, burnt orange peel, and dried soil. Midweight and grippy, it has refreshing acidity, with good length and a bright, clean finish. Drink 2025-2037.
