Barolo D.O.C.G. Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia Riserva shows a deep garnet color with brick-red reflections. The nose is intense and complex, offering aromas of dried roses, red cherries, truffle, tobacco, and subtle notes of spice and tar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, with firm, polished tannins and layers of dark fruit, licorice, and earthy minerality leading to a long, balanced finish. The Pianpolvere Soprano vineyard, located within the prestigious Bussia cru of Monforte d’Alba, has a storied history dating back to the early 20th century and was once tended by the legendary viticulturist Domenico Clerico. Revered for its high-altitude position and calcareous soils, the site consistently produces Nebbiolo grapes of remarkable concentration and finesse. This Riserva is a testament to that heritage, expressing both the power and grace that define the finest Barolo wines.
