Piedmont At a Glance
Region NamePiedmont
Piemonte is considered by many the top wine region of Italy, being the land of Barolo and Barbaresco, even though these mega-popular wines only account for 3% of the region’s wine production.
Score: 95Vintage 2021The Wine Advocate The mid-weight Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barolo Bussia is a little shy on first nose and will need more time in bottle. This is a good sign for the wine's future aging potential. You get a glimpse of the aromatic complexity on hand with delicate berry fruit tones, cinnamon and licorice root. There is an elegant earthy intensity that I often associate with the Bussia cru. Only 8,146 bottles were created.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2021James SucklingGraceful style due to the aromas and bony structure. Tea leaves, bergamot, cinnamon, fresh violets and dried cherries. Firm tannins with a ripe texture, refreshing acidity and medium to full body. Edgier finish. Try from 2027.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 95Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe 2020 Barolo Bussia is one of the most impressive wines in this range from Einaudi. Ample and explosive on the palate, with striking depth, the Bussia has a level of complexity that is not found in the other wines. Strong spice and balsamic inflections weave through a core of fruit in this resonant, wonderfully expressive Barolo.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 94Vintage 2020Wine AdvocateShowing ripe strawberry aromas with dark, tarry notes at the back, the Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2020 Barolo Bussia is a full-bodied Barolo with savory tobacco leaf, crushed rose, toasted spice and ferrous earthy sensations. The tannins are dry, and the wine show dark austerity. This is a more robust production of 10,706 bottles.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2020Wine SpectatorThere is considerable heft to this red, along with bright cherry and raspberry fruit. Reveals tar, iron and eucalyptus notes as this extends on the long aftertaste. Shows energy and balance; just needs time. Best from 2027 through 2043.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2020James SucklingNotes of red plums and cherries with hints of blue flowers, ground cloves and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins rounding your palate. Dry and juicy with some austerity at the end. Chalky and mineral. Try after 2028.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2020Wine EnthusiastCrushed red fruits, orange peel, and a captivating Aperol-like note mingle with floral hints. The palate is pretty, boasting ample fruits without being overwrought. Tasty, mouthwatering, and well-centered, this wine offers good density and a lot of character without being in your face.
