Barbaresco San Stunet 2015 - Piero Busso

The San Stunet (Santo Stefano) cru is located in the municipality of Treiso, at a high altitude (approximately 400 meters), which gives the Nebbiolo a particular freshness and distinction. The 2015 vintage, warm and balanced, yielded grapes of perfect maturity. Staying true to an artisanal approach, Piero Busso favors long aging in large oak casks to let the finesse of the terroir express itself.

Visually, the wine displays a light ruby color with garnet reflections, typical of Nebbiolo. The nose is complex, blending notes of red cherry, faded rose, licorice, and blond tobacco, over a slightly earthy, mineral background.

On the palate, San Stunet 2015 impresses with its rectitude and silky structure. The attack is straightforward, revealing a dense but highly elegant texture. The tannins are firm, with a very fine grain, perfectly integrated with a vibrant acidity that carries the wine toward a long, saline, and floral finish.

A great gastronomic Barbaresco, ideal with black truffle risotto, osso buco, or aged cheeses (such as Piedmontese Toma). Serve at 17-18°C after an hour of aeration.
