Bussia Soprana 1998 Mosconi Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $68
This Barolo is a bit light in weight, but elegant and complex, prettily combining leather, dried orange peel, cured meat and floral notes. Finishes dry and tannic, so revisit it in 10 years.

Bussia Soprana 1997 Moscani Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $76
Solid and chunky, this wine is extra dry at this stage in its life. Tannins pile upon tannins, submerging the fruit flavors of strawberries and cherries as well as those of tobacco and spice. The aftertaste is slightly astringent, but if those tannins soften, it should be a serious long-term wine.

Bussia Soprana 1998 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $55
This medium-weight wine exhibits a ripe, creamy texture and fine aromatics of smoke, citrus rind and tea. Dried cherries and peaches chime in on the palate, but the wine finishes too swiftly to rate higher. Drink now–2015.

Bussia Soprana 1997 Bussia Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $70
Dryness is the dominant character of this wine. Aromas of charred wood, toast and sandalwood are more prominent than plum tomatoes. To taste, it is tough and slightly lean, but there are also red berries and herbs. Wood comes back to dominate the aftertaste, along with acidity. Will this age? It should, but it needs at least 10 years.

Bussia Soprana 2001 Vigne del Rio White
- $23
A little soft, but on the whole, it’s a pretty nice wine. Applesauce and ripe melon aromas precede a palate that features full pear and honeydew flavors. Quite smooth and succulent on the finish, although maybe a touch mushy and low on acidity. Drink immediately for best results.

Bussia Soprana 1998 Vigna Colonnello Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $68
Complex on the nose, with leafy, herbal notes mixing with the sweetness of dried fruit and caramel, and turning horsey and leathery after a short time in the glass. Flavors focus on prunes, leather and tar, picking up hints of orange peel on the relatively short finish.

Bussia Soprana 2000 Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- $18
Aromas of tobacco, burnt toast and roasted sesame seeds make it hard to peg, and nothing on the palate brings this wine into clearer focus. It’s chewy and dry, but with fairly thin rhubarb fruit. Not overly bad but not terribly charming.
