The 2006 Barbaresco Borgese offers up flowers, red cherries, menthol, spices and French oak on a mid-weight frame. This is a very pretty, harmonious wine from Piero Busso that should drink well upon release. Borgese is a sub-plot of the Albesani vineyard in Neive. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.
Piero Busso, a small grower in Neive, makes wines in an approachable, fruit-driven style.
