Score 88/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2011
The 1975 Barolo Riserva Bussia di Monforte hasn't convinced me on the few occasions I have had it, and this is no exception. It may have been beautiful when first released, but I have only known the 1975 Bussia as an older wine. This bottle is overly volatile and rustic. On more than one occasion Bruno Giacosa told me he thought Bussia, and the Pianpolvere Soprano section in particular, was the single best site in all of Piedmont.

About the producer
Bruno Giacosa
Bruno Giacosa – now run by daughter Bruna – is a cult Nebbiolo producer, that has consistently made some of the best single-vineyard Barbaresco and Barolo from the 1960s onwards. The“red-label” Riservas are some of the finest and most collectable wines in Italy.
