2021 Barolo Bussia, Arnaldo Rivera
Arnaldo Rivera founded Terre del Barolo in 1958, and this serie of wines are a celebration to him. They have, through the cooperative, acess to grapes from the best MGA´s of Piedmont.
But, and note that I have a high tolerance to new oak, I think these wines are covered with too much new oak. With bottle age they will probably come together but now...
