The 2019 Piero Busso Barbera d’Alba Stefanetto is a beautifully concentrated and traditionally styled Barbera from the hills of Neive in Piemonte. Sourced from the Stefanetto vineyard and crafted with a restrained approach, the wine balances Barbera’s vibrant acidity with impressive depth, savoury complexity and polished structure. The nose reveals blackberry, dark cherry and plum layered alongside violet, sweet spice and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine richness and lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with supple tannins, lively natural acidity and beautifully pure dark berry fruit. Layers of black cherry and plum are balanced by savoury spice, mineral freshness and gentle oak complexity, finishing long, energetic and finely structured with excellent maturity and balance.
