Antonio Galloni of Antonio Galloni's Vinous rated this wine 95 points.  “The 2020 Barolo Bussia is the most expressive of these Barolos from Claudio Fenocchio.  Ample and layered in feel, the 2020 offers up a compelling mix of dark fruit, mocha, spice, leather, dried herbs and incense. There's real penetrating power to the aromatics and flavors here.  Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural pedigree.  The 2020 is beautifully done.”  (Nov. 2023).

Monica Larner of Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate rated this wine 93 points.  “The Giacomo Fenocchio 2019 Barolo Bussia has ripe cherry and dried raspberry on a first wave.  With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, this wine shows nicely balanced results.  I like the grip of the tannins and the focused, angular style of the wine that prizes crushed stone and rusty iron.  This wine stands apart in this portfolio.  Production is 25,000 bottles.”  (Apr. 4, 2024).

Claudio Fenocchio's mastery is evident in how he elicits the quintessence of Bussia in this wine. It unfolds with measured elegance, unhurried in its expression. The bouquet is rich with warm Marasca cherries, blood orange zest, fading rose, wild sage, and forest floor. Effortlessly, it glides across the palate, the 2020's tannins are soft, rounded, and plush, embracing the mixed berry preserves sprinkled with baking spices while the lively acidity elevates the experience, ensuring a fresh palate. This stands out as one of the premier wines of this vintage. Drink Now through 2045

Ripe brick red in color, the 2020 Barolo Bussia is fruity and layered on opening with notes of mixed berries, baking spices, sage, and candied violets. Rounded and seamless, the palate offers a velvety texture, with ripe tannins and a long finish. Its ripeness of fruit shows on the finish, and it's going to be best enjoyed over the next 8-10 years.
