A special selection of older vines, some 80 years or older, from the estate’s peerless flint-rich soils. A stunning, complex wine and one that will age, too; put a case away and forget about it for 10 years, then be amazed!
-Importer notes
The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fossati is laced with dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and tobacco. Long ferments, with submerged cap and aging in cask yields a Dolcetto of uncommon complexity and nuance. The Coste & Fossati is usually on the richer ...
The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba is quite understated in this vintage. As always, the use of stems in the Dolcetto lends floral and savory brightness that is quite attractive and distinctive. Medium in body and gracious, the 2021 is an absolute delight. In 202...

The 2017 Barolo Bussia is complex and ethereal in the glass. A whole range of floral and spiced notes give the Bussia its striking aromatic presence. Silky and harmonious, the Bussia is already very easy to enjoy. Even so, my impression is that the 2017 i...
A beautiful sense of resolve on the first impression with perfectly ripe red cherries taking center stage on the nose.
A ripe, layered Barolo with lots of dried strawberry, blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. It is rather more flamboyant red for this producer. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.
The 2016 Barolo Bussia is laced with a whole range of sweet floral and balsamic overtones, along with striking underpinnings of structure and tannin that give the wine its shape. A wine of energy, tension and nuance, the Bussia is just superb in 2016. Tim...
