Barolo D.O.C.G. “Bussia” Barolo Cru Bussia D.O.C.G. Le Clivie originates in the hills of the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, an area recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the uniqueness of its landscape and ancient viticultural tradition. A territory with characteristics found nowhere else in the world, with ideal climatic conditions for the fragile Nebbiolo vine. Its compact bunches, with small, thick-skinned grapes, take a long time to ripen, sometimes until November, the month when the first Piedmontese fog (nebbia in Italian) descends, giving the vine its name. A perfect synthesis of art and terroir, Barolo Cru Bussia D.O.C.G. Le Clivie is an aristocratic wine, ruby for the eyes, poetry for the soul.
