The 2019 Piero Busso Barbaresco San Stunet Magnum (1500ml) is a distinguished 100% Nebbiolo from the San Stunet MGA in Treiso, Barbaresco DOCG. This high-altitude, south-east-facing vineyard sits on calcareous yellow marl and limestone soils, producing a Barbaresco known for its freshness, aromatic lift and elegant structure. Naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in large oak casks, the magnum format allows the wine to develop slowly and gracefully. The nose reveals aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals, layered with tobacco, sweet spice and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and impressive precision. Flavours of red berries, dried herbs and savoury spice are supported by a mineral backbone, leading to a long, refined finish. The cooler Treiso site gives the wine excellent freshness and structure, making it both expressive in its youth and well suited to extended cellaring.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for collectors seeking a classic Barbaresco with elegance and longevity. Pair it with braised veal, roast duck, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Enjoy after a generous decant, or cellar for the next 15–20 years, with the magnum format allowing the wine to evolve with even greater complexity.
