Note di degustazione
Good full red with an amber edge. Lower-toned aromas of smoky oak, damp earth and vegetable matter, with a roasted nuance. Then fat, sweet, very ripe and supple, with a very smooth, rich texture and suave tannins. This compellingly sweet, rather carnal Barolo finishes with lovely length.

Pianpolvere Soprano's 2000 Barolo Bussia Riserva is a terrific wine. It possesses gorgeous inner perfume to its ripe fruit, spices and sweet toasted oak. It is still primary and could use another few years to develop more nuance. While it doesn't have the structure of the 1999, it is a beautiful, approachable Barolo to enjoy now and over the next decade or so.
When I asked Bruno Giacosa to name the top terroirs in Barolo he replied Pianpolvere, followed by Falletto, Vigna Rionda and Bussia. That is quite a statement. Today Pianpolvere Soprano is owned by the Migliorini family, proprietors of Rocche dei Manzoni. Pianpolvere Soprano’s 2000 Barolo Bussia Riserva is a terrific wine.
