About this wine
A single-vineyard Barolo from the Gabutti della Bussia parcel, acquired by the estate in 1999 and planted with vines averaging 35 to 60 years old. The limestone-marl soils here give a wine of firm structure and aromatic complexity — dried rose, red berries, leather and a mineral-driven finish — aged in large oak casks in the estate's traditional style.
A serious, full-bodied Barolo — give it at least an hour of decanting to reveal its character.

バローロ
Barolo
RedNebbiolo
The estate's classic Barolo is a blend of Nebbiolo from Bussia Soprana's own crus in Monforte d'Alba — Bussia, Mosconi, Gabutti and Colonnello. Combining fruit from these plots gives a balanced, structured wine that captures the essence of the commune's terroir without singling out one vineyard. Traditional fermentation and extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks (botti) produce refined tannins, bright acidity and real aging potential.
バローロ・ヴィーニャ・コロネッロ
Barolo Vigna Colonnello
RedNebbiolo
Bussia Soprana's flagship single-vineyard Barolo, sourced from the celebrated Colonnello cru within the Bussia MGA in Monforte d'Alba. Long recognized by critics (Decanter, World of Fine Wine) across vintages back to the 1990s, it is prized for its floral lift, fine-grained tannins, and mineral-driven length — a benchmark expression of this historic parcel.
バローロ・モスコーニ
Barolo Mosconi
RedNebbiolo
A single-vineyard Barolo from the Mosconi cru, incorporated into the estate in 1995. Mosconi is known for producing powerful, structured Nebbiolo typical of Monforte d'Alba, with dark cherry, dried rose, licorice and earthy notes. Reviewed across multiple vintages (Wine Enthusiast, CellarTracker, Wine.com), it has a track record of firm tannins and strong aging potential.
バルベーラ・ダルバ ヴィン・デル・ロス
Barbera d'Alba Vin del Ross
RedBarbera
Bussia Soprana's Barbera d'Alba 'Vin del Ross' is a fresh, food-friendly red made from 100% Barbera grown around the Bussia area of Monforte d'Alba. Vinified mainly in stainless steel to preserve its signature bright acidity and vivid red-fruit character, it is a classic, approachable expression of the variety.
ランゲ・ネッビオーロ
Langhe Nebbiolo
RedNebbiolo
An approachable, early-drinking Nebbiolo from Bussia Soprana's Monforte d'Alba vineyards, made in the Langhe DOC to be enjoyed well before the estate's Barolo bottlings. Vinified to preserve primary red-fruit character, it shows the elegance of Nebbiolo without the tannic weight of a young Barolo.
バローロ・キナート
Barolo Chinato
ReddessertNebbiolo
A traditional Piedmontese aromatized wine made from the estate's Barolo, infused with a secret blend of herbs, spices and roots including China Calissaia bark. The result is a complex, bittersweet digestif balancing Nebbiolo's tannin and acidity with the medicinal depth of the botanicals — notes of dark chocolate, dried cherry and warming spice.
