2018 Podere Ruggeri Corsini 'Bussia' Barolo, Piemonte, Italy   

Medium-deep ruby red, with garnet to orange overtones. There is an exhilarating rush of freshness on the nose, followed immediately by warming broader elements which can include candied cherries, bitter cherries, plums, strawberries and raspberries. There are also darker tones of chocolate, hazelnuts and liquorice, with herbs, cinnamon and vanilla as well.
