The Cru Bussia is one of the most historical and prestigious single vineyards located in Monforte d’Alba, South East of the Barolo village. Here Barolos are characterized by a potent structure, an extraordinary depth of flavor and an uncommon aging potential. The style is traditional, with a long fermentation with native yeasts and a long maceration on the skins. The oak used for aging is not toasted and of the highest quality, so to enhance the distinctive features of the Bussia terroir into the wine.
