About the Wine

According to UNESCO, within the Piedmont region, specifically in La Morra exists "An exceptional living testimony to the historical tradition of grape growing and the winemaking processes.” 

This land produces some of the best Barolos in the world. Inside this region lies La Bussia Monforte d'Alba, the birthplace of this stunning wine, 2015 Stroppiana Gabutti Bussia Barolo. 

Stroppiana is a family-owned and operated winery that's been producing world-class Barolo since 1960.

Their small winery cultivates roughly 13 1/2 acres of vineyards making them a small production winery with limited access to every bottle.

According to James Suckling, Barolo's 2015 Vintage is considered one of the bests of recent years, alongside the spectacular 2010 vintage. He called it a "vintage to celebrate" stating that Barolos resulted in “vibrant wines with red fruit flavors, showing balance.” and concluded how 95 Point review, saying that it was "just a proper classic vintage."  

Aging: Slavonian oak barrels for 2 years.

Tasting Notes: 100% Nebbiolo. This Nebbiolo, often compared to a precious garnet stone, exhibits a velvety texture, high tannins, powerful notes of cherry, plum, and violet with sweet spices of tobacco and cocoa, and aging notes of white truffle. This is the perfect Nebbiolo to pair with fresh game, red meat, and mature cheeses. 

Reviews

The exuberant nose really builds with dried cranberries, candied redcurrants, tons of incense, tea leaves, asphalt, tar, and rose perfume. Very powerful with spear-like tannins and cutting acidity. Full-bodied, very long, and chewy. Drink from 2024. ~95 James Suckling
