Giacosa Fratelli Barolo Bussia starts ruby red, then changes, with age, to garnet red. The bouquet is ample and persistent, flowery with hints of rose, complex even up to leather and tar. Dry, full-bodied, well proportioned, and even velvety. Excellent with red meats (both roasted, skewered, or grilled) and especially with wild game.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2016 Barolo Bussia offers a dark and savory bouquet with aromas of black currant and cassis with tar, smoke and licorice. There is a lot of dark spice that adds contouring and definition to the concentrated fruit found at the heart of this wine. The tannins are a bit too sharp, dense and astringent, and I'm not confident that they will ever fully integrate. Give the wine ample aging time nonetheless."

Wine Enthusiast
"Rose-petal, new leather and underbrush aromas emerge from the glass. The full-bodied palate offers black cherry, licorice and clove alongside firm tannins. Drink 2023–2030."
