Barolo D.O.C.G. Bussia Luigi Arnulfo

A special selection dedicated almost every year to our founder, Luigi Arnulfo. The best grapes are harvested over-ripe, to get a more intense color. On the nose, hints of tobacco and ripe fruits are easily recognizable, with sensations of sweet and silky tannins in the mouth.

With its great persistence, it is a wine that perfectly expresses the typical Barolo from Bussia hill. The label reproduces the one created by Luigi Arnulfo for its Barolo 1883 and 1990.
