Piero Busso Barbaresco 'Albesani Vigna Borgese' DOCG 2019
Vintage Character
2019 Piero Busso Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese DOCG comes from the celebrated Albesani MGA in Neive, one of Barbaresco’s most refined sources of Nebbiolo. The 2019 vintage is widely regarded as a strong one in Piedmont, with a long, even growing season and well-timed temperature shifts that helped build both aromatic clarity and firm, age-worthy structure. Albesani is especially prized for its calcareous marl soils, which give Nebbiolo a distinctive combination of floral lift, mineral tension, and finely etched tannins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The Wine Advocate awarded this wine 95 points, underscoring its standing among the vintage’s top Barbarescos. Expect a perfumed nose of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal and violet, layered with licorice, anise and a subtle earthy nuance. On the palate it is focused and graceful rather than heavy, with bright acidity, tightly woven tannins and a savory, persistent finish that carries notes of tar, iron and sweet spice. It pairs beautifully with truffle risotto, roast duck, or porcini tagliatelle.
Winery Background
Founded in 1953, Piero Busso remains a family estate rooted in Neive, now led by Pierguido Busso with a clear emphasis on expressing site over cellar signature. The vineyards are farmed with organic principles and a low-intervention mindset, reflecting the belief that great Barbaresco begins in the vineyard. Fermentations are handled traditionally, and the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak botti to preserve Nebbiolo’s fragrance and transparency rather than mark it with overt wood. That balance of precision, restraint and cru definition makes Vigna Borgese a benchmark expression of Albesani.
