Ghisolfi’s Bussia Barolo is one of the few from the district that shows some softening of tannin at an early age. This has an earthy nose, shows the scent of cedar with a hint of graphite, and tart cherry fruit on the palate. The tannins are not insignificant, but shouldn’t pose a problem if paired with savory roasts and cheeses.
