Piero Busso's 2016 Barbaresco Mondino is a wine with a lively vertical rise and lots of upward push in terms of its bouquet. The aromas are fun and playful, with fresh forest berry, blueberry and wild rose backed by balsam herb, smoke, spice and tar. You get the whole range of basic Nebbiolo aromas. The wine's tension is balanced and its overall delivery is beautifully executed.
