Cascina Pugnane Barolo Bussia 2018

Description

Cascina Pugnane Barolo Bùssia 2018 is a 100% Nebbiolo from the Bussia MGA in Monforte d’Alba, Piedmont, vinified by brothers Enzo and Ivo Ghisolfi on their organically farmed estate straddling the boundary of Castiglione Falletto and Monforte. The Pugnane section of Bussia sits on marly-clayey limestone soils with west to southwest-facing slopes. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel with extended maceration, then aged for a minimum of two years in large Slavonian oak botti before release. Fewer than 2,500 bottles of Barolo leave the cellar each year. Cascina Pugnane Barolo Bùssia 2018 reflects a vintage defined by warm conditions in late summer and a traditional October harvest, producing wines with soft tannins, clear aromatics, and earlier accessibility than neighboring vintages. 14% ABV.
