Busso bottles two cuves from his 1.2 hectares of vines in the Albesani cru. On the western hills above Neive, Albesani is one of the shining stars of Barbaresco. In his Barbaresco MGA, Alessandro Masnaghetti writes that here, the combination of soil, stature and exposure creates one of the greatest vineyards of the Langhe.

Classic in terms of its fruit profile and structure. Its medium- to full-bodied, with sweet fruit suggesting fresh plum with hints of leather, honey and iodine complexity, clove and nutmeg spice and a cool freshness. Its intense yet elegant, with flesh and complexity.
