The Story Behind the Bottle
Luigi Arnulfo was considered a great pioneer of his day in producing great Barolo wines. He founded the Costa di Bussia winery in 1874 and today this legacy is continued by the Sartirano family. Nearly every year, they produce a Barolo dedicated to the name of the founder; there's even a museum devoted to his work. They take the Nebbiolo for this special wine from their most prized Bussia hill vineyards, the marl and clay soils of which produce wines with elegance, finesse and the ability to age. 2019 was a classic vintage, with cooler temperatures, ensuring a long, slow ripening and the freshness and firm tannins for ageing. Deep cherry, tobacco, herbs and flowers. Open early and decant. Even better cellared for a few years.
