2020 Barolo Bussia The Barolo Bussia is a selection of Poderi Fogliati’s top fruit from their prized 90-year-old south-west facing vineyard in the cru of Bussia. These venerable vineyards organically cultivated and ideally positioned yield grapes of extraordinary quality. Such excellence allows them to carry out vinification with minimal intervention employing natural yeasts for spontaneous fermentation. There is no use of additives or filtration in a process wholly dedicated to achieving the highest expression of the vineyard.
