Total production is approximately 80,000 bottles annually. The Bussia is aged for 26 months where the Cru wines receive 28-30 months in cask, while the Granbussia receives 32 months and is only released from the cellars eight years after the vintage.

Walter Speller

Very deep ruby. Very concentrated, and oak driven. The nose almost looks like Cicala blended with Colonnello. Lots of succulent fruit followed by a minerally but restrained finish. Still a little bit unsettled on the finish. Very long and perfumed. (WS)

The Conterno family started bottling this single vineyard wine after 2004 when they didnt make Gran Bussia, which is a blend of Rominasco, Cicala and Colonello. Incredible aromas of crushed strawberries with blueberries and minerals with hints of porcini mushrooms. Intense and deep nose. Full-bodied, with great depth of fruit with chewy tannins and a long finish of balsamic, dried fruits and chewy. Superb. Try in 2016.
