Ventuno ettari in Monforte d'Alba , con vista sulle vigne di Prunotto poco più in basso e, a voltar lo sguardo verso higher up the hill, the beautiful estate of Aldo Conterno , the company Bussia Soprana is one of the rare reality of quantity, as well as quality, land of Barolo. One hundred thousand bottles of Barolo year, produced from grapes of vines Colonel , Mosconi, Gabutti and Bussia , and numbers from the various large companies including Barbera, Dolcetto and Langhe Rosso Zenit, by Nebbiolo, Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon. Just the topic of cut was at the center of a heated debate between a visiting fellow in the company and Silvano Casiraghi, an entrepreneur since 1992, Monza holds Bussia Soprana.
Grant that even in a large single-varietal wines such as Barolo can finish a small percentage of other grapes in the vineyard finished the nursery maybe by mistake, it could make sense once more. Everyone feels entitled to collect the grapes and make wine all together. Today, the specifications do not allow even more that 5% margin, which in many cases, perhaps even tacitly reached 15-20%. "What happened to Montalcino Sangiovese" cut "merlot" reminds us Silvano. Today, however, with the new electronic methods of recognition grapes in the vineyard, there is little to be clever. Either you adapt or you risk pilloried in the media.
why some as big as the same in Barbaresco Angelo Gaia, have chosen to create versions of the Langhe supertuscan , in which local and international grape varieties come together in products invisible to traditionalists but of undoubted quality.
tasting. But great Barolo Barbera! When placed in the mouth and pour a sip of Barolo 2006, the youngest one on the market today, screwed up eyes and Casiraghi us a clue:
"Drink today 2006 is committing infanticide" . Exactly. The feeling is clear that I never committed a crime, as he took a sour apple in the Garden of Eden . The fact remains that it is all too obvious that this is a wine of enormous potential, and flies to the imagination when, in a few years, the tannins and acidity will be developed will be reduced to create an ideal environment to enhance all the infinite variety of flavor and scent typical of the grape. And find it surprising
still young and evolving, ten years after harvest. The 2000 , indeed gives a wine a little cranky and spigolosetto, although already a great personality.
The real pleasure starts from 1998 down. From 12-14 anni in avanti si può capire se un Barolo è degno del nome che porta. E i vari cru dell'azienda sono decisamente prodotti "a lungo termine". Potenti, strutturati, complessi ed eleganti, le migliori annate sono la 97-98-99, ma se abbiamo soldi e spazio in cantina la 2006 merita un investimento. Casiraghi giura che tra qualche anno sarà un vino fuori dal comune, figlio di una grande annata. Noi ci fidiamo, ci lasciamo trasportare ad assaggiar l'uva matura tra i filari protetti da reti antigrandine garantite 15 anni, e ce ne torniamo in azienda per gli acquisti. Tutti si lanciano sul Barolo. Io no, con le poche finanze rimaste mi concedo qualche bottiglia della Barbera d'Alba Doc Mosconi 2007 bevuta a pranzo.
12 euro per bottle, is a magnificent example of how these parts of the casks and barrels barbera can come from God, although aged only in steel.
only flaw of the day, apart from the 50 euro thrown at a restaurant, visit the winery. Not reached.
