Born at Bussia's mineral-laden terroir in Monforte d'Alba, this Einaudi single-vineyard captures that particular edge that makes the site special. Intense balsamic camphor mingles with mature red berry, underbrush, and dark spice. Full-bodied and powerfully structured with ripe Morello cherry, spiced raspberry, licorice, and tobacco against a firm, tannic backbone. Still young; decant or cellar until 2031+.

Antonio Galloni

94 points

"The 2021 Barolo Bussia is a gorgeous, expressive Barolo. All the breadth of Bussia comes through in the glass, with the more laid-back, mid-weight style that is now the house signature. Deeply spiced notes meld into a core of dark red fruit. Lifted and aromatic, with understated power, the 2021 is wonderfully complex and dynamic." —Antonio Galloni

"The mid-weight Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barolo Bussia is a little shy on first nose and will need more time in bottle. This is a good sign for the wine's future aging potential. You get a glimpse of the aromatic complexity on hand with delicate berry fruit tones, cinnamon and licorice root. There is an elegant earthy intensity that I often associate with the Bussia cru. Only 8,146 bottles were created." —Monica Larner

Decanter

"Elegant aromas of truffle, cherry and wild red fruit; vanilla oak, textured tannins and a tangy acidity on the palate."

Wine Spectator

94 points

"A bright and well-delineated version, offering cherry, raspberry, floral, iron and wild herb aromas and flavors. Supple, beautifully balanced and long on the extended, linear finish. This red is open now; however, don't be surprised if this closes down for some time. Best from 2028 through 2046."

Kerin O'Keefe

"The 2021 Bussia from Einaudi has intense balsamic aromas of camphor that mingle with mature red berry, underbrush and dark spice. Full-bodied and powerfully built, the palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, spiced raspberry, licorice and tobacco set against a firm, tannic backbone and fresh acidity. Give this time to fully come together. Drink 2031–2041." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Luigi Einaudi

Founded by Italy's future president in 1897, Luigi Einaudi makes Barolo from the Costa Grimaldi vineyard at Terlo—a southeast-facing, calcareous-marl site with reserved nose, full-bodied attack, and silky tannins that evolve for decades. This is Piedmont's aristocracy.
