Piero Busso Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese 2022

Piero Busso’s Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese 2022 is a refined expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most respected cru sites. Sourced from the celebrated Albesani vineyard, it combines precision, perfume, and structure in a style that speaks clearly of its place and heritage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is likely to show a translucent ruby hue with the brightness and delicacy typical of young Nebbiolo. The nose should be lifted and complex, with red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, dried herbs, and hints of spice, earth, and subtle minerality. On the palate, expect a vibrant, focused wine with firm but polished tannins, fresh acidity, and layered red fruit framed by savory, floral, and mineral notes. While approachable in youth with proper aeration, it should also have the structure and balance to evolve gracefully over time, rewarding cellaring over the next decade or more.

Production
Albesani is one of the most prized vineyard sites in Barbaresco, known for its favorable exposure and soils that help Nebbiolo develop fragrance, finesse, and depth. The 2022 vintage comes from Piero Busso, a producer widely associated with traditional, terroir-driven winemaking in the Langhe. Specific harvesting and vinification details were not provided, but wines from this cru are typically made with careful site selection and minimal intervention to preserve purity of fruit and the character of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
This Barbaresco is an excellent match for braised beef, roast lamb, veal, porcini risotto, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening in its youth to allow the aromas and tannins to open up.
