Piero Busso Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese 2019, Piero Busso, Neive Barbaresco Piedmont, is a profound single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the high-elevation Albesani cru’s limestone-clay marls – ample yet racy with haunting depth that’s tailor-made for Adelaide’s most elegant autumn feasts.​ Inviting sandalwood, blue flowers, resin and mocha lead into copious dark red fruit, blood orange, sweet spice and tobacco, capturing the southwest-facing 260m site’s radiant transparency and minerality.​

On the palate, Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese 2019 offers juicy cherries, dark plums, earthiness and anisette with firm yet polished tannins, mid-weight structure and ripe, racy balance – classically poised at 14% after 26 months in large casks, drinking beautifully through 2028.
