Langhe Sauvignon "Arbe'" 2024

Piero Busso's Langhe Sauvignon is made from grapes harvested in the municipality of Neive.

A refreshing white wine with bracing acidity. Grapes are harvested from the vineyard near the winery, in the Albesani area of Neive, and vinified exclusively in steel tanks.

The Winery: Piero Busso

Established in the 1980s by the passion of Piero and his wife Lucia, who are now assisted by their children Pierguido and Emanuela. The company is deeply rooted in its relationship with the land, which it aims to both enhance and respect. Piero's philosophy is clear: to produce quality wine, highlighting the characteristics of the grape variety, planted according to precise soil and exposure characteristics, without forced choices based on market demands. Most of the vineyards are located in the municipality of Neive, while only a small parcel of Nebbiolo for Barbaresco is in the municipality of Treiso, specifically the San Stunet cru. The vineyard is cultivated with the utmost care, knowing that a winemaker is first and foremost a farmer and therefore must respect the land they work: no chemical products, herbicides, or fertilizers are used, preferring the use of natural compounds. The work in the cellar reflects the company philosophy: the processes are far from industrial, and the aim is to obtain a wine that respects the fruit, enhancing its original aromas and flavor. Fermentations take place in steel tanks for all wines, and in 10-hectoliter wooden vats with submerged cap for the "old vines" selections. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is moved to wooden barrels for aging; predominantly large oak barrels are used, while the use of used barriques has decreased over time but is still well-balanced today. The wines are therefore very elegant, refined, and express their typicity. All vineyard work and cellar operations are carried out personally by Piero and Pierguido, artisan winemakers who respect the territory. Fruity and spicy notes.
