Fairly ordinary residence in Milan, I didn't find it to be in particular noteworthy.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, silky texture. The colour is a deep, robust crimson, with a nuanced suggestion of smoke and a textured aroma that includes touches of cherry, oak, red berries, and leather. The flavour profile is similarly layered, with a mix of sweet and tart notes, with cherries, currants, and a dash of smoke. Overall, a dimensional and fascinating wine with a lot to offer.

Deep nose with dried plum, leather, spices, and oak, all combining to create a rich and layered profile.

What the web is saying

Arnaldo Rivera Bussia Barolo is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with deep, complex flavors of cherry, plum, and leather. It has a nuanced aroma with oak and forest floor notes, and a firm tannic structure. Some find it ordinary, while others appreciate its layered and dimensional character. The wine is well-suited for aging, offering a smooth, lingering finish that complements its boldness.

Voss Experts4.6

This Barolo reveals a garnet hue with a bouquet of dried rose petals, red cherry, and anise, underscored by hints of forest floor and leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegantly structured, with firm yet refined tannins that promise longevity. The wine's vibrant acidity harmonizes with flavors of blackcurrant, licorice, and a whisper of truffle, leading to a persistent, mineral-laden finish. Exemplifying the classic power and finesse of the Bussia cru, this Barolo is a testament to the region's storied terroir and is poised for graceful aging.
