Critics Ratings

'Mid ruby with orange rim. Cool red fruit and hints of oak. A pretty whole. Sweet, fragrant fruit on the palate, which doesn't last perhaps extremely long, but it is certainly a pretty wine. The finish seems just a little dry.' - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Sep 2012)

'The 2005 Barolo Riserva Granbussia represents a selection of fruit from the oldest vines. This is an elegant and pure expression of Nebbiolo that shows a dark ruby hue and deeply finessed aromas of wild berry, wet earth, iron, black truffle and some sweet baking spice. This is an elegant and synthetic interpretation of the greater Bussia cru that extends down the crest of a long hill from Monteforte d'Alba to Barolo. The finish is elegant, silky and fine.' - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Jun 2017)
