About The Wine
Bussia is the famed single vineyard of the picturesque Barolo village of Monforte. It's one of the most prestigious vineyards in the entire Barolo area, and it's from this historical site that Podere Ruggeri source the fruit for this exemplary wine.
With classically structured tannins, a lovely heft and density of dark cherry fruit, it's a wine fit for pairing with full-flavoured dishes.
A powerful generous drink worthy of some time in decanter now, that’ll also age beautifully for years to come. Have a sip of this and you'll understand why Barolo is considered the wine of kings.
About Podere Ruggeri Corsini
Podere Ruggeri Corsini is the work of couple Loredana Addari and Nicola Argamante.
After studies in viticulture and winemaking, they abandoned well-paying city jobs to set up their estate in Monforte, at the heart of Piedmont’s famously rolling hills in 1995.
Now in the charge of eldest daughter Francesca, this is small family affair offering exceptional value and quality.

Critic Reviews
"Red and black fruit, sage and mint, a little toasty and spicy oak in play here too, though nothing overt, and the stately power of the fruit pretty much sucks it up. It’s ferrous, with toasted almond and orange peel, plenty of fine pumice stone tannin, freshness too, dried herb and flowers on a long powerful finish, a cinch of amaro bitterness to close. Impressive wine. Quite primal and growly as at now, but heaps of potential to sweeten up and stretch its legs." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
