Full-bodied at 14.5%, with a heavy concentration of sweet, smooth tannin coating the palate and high acidity carrying a long, savoury finish. Nebbiolo 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sartirano family has owned and run Costa di Bussia since 1988, in the Bussia cru near the village of Monforte d'Alba, and the estate's fifteen hectares take in the vineyards of Campo dei Buoi and Campo del Gatto. Bussia's clay soils are rich in the minerals that give the wine its structure and complexity, and the slopes are steep enough that machinery is impractical, so the vines are tended by hand; the estate is farmed under SQNPI-certified integrated crop management, and every bottle comes from the eleven hectares immediately surrounding the cellar. Vinification ran in small fermentation tanks with delicate pumping over, drawing out flavour and tannin while oxygenating the wine, which then spent a minimum of thirty-six months in 5,000-litre Slovenian casks and a further period in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16-18C and decant an hour ahead.
