Barolo "Bussia" 2013, Arnaldo Rivera, Piemonte
Tasting notes
Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Spicy, deep nose with hints of oak, but quite true to site with minerally hints, too. Notes of tobacco leaf suggesting there is a bit of development going on. Gorgeous coating tannins and fresh, concentrated cherry fruit on the palate. Subtle, long, fragrant finish and a little mouth-watering. A star in the making? (W.S. - Jancis Robinson; 2013 vintage; tasted May 2017).

Expert's View
“Some of the wines that Clear Wine will be listing and selling are the first releases after the trial phase, a huge marvellous high point for launching. In the very first release in 2013, they hit the Wine Spectator ‘Top 100’ wines of the world - really good wines with a decent amount available. There’s not rarity and fitness to become commercially viable wines, but what they have got is exciting – a great accolade.” ~ Clear Wine Co's Wine Expert
