The 2019 Piero Busso Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese is a beautifully refined single-vineyard Barbaresco from the celebrated Albesani cru in Neive, one of the region’s most prized sites for elegant and age-worthy Nebbiolo. Crafted in a traditional style with impressive precision and restraint, the wine balances lifted aromatics, fine tannin structure and remarkable depth. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and blood orange layered alongside sweet spice, tobacco and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine exceptional complexity and finesse.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with finely woven tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully concentrated red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and subtle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely detailed with outstanding balance and ageing potential.
