The winery is run by the three sons of Aldo: Franco, Stefano and Giacomo who followed in the footsteps of their father to carry on the family tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate, which vinifies exclusively its own grapes, consists of 25 hectares of vineyard. Cru vineyards produce bottlings titled \"Romirasco\" \"Cicala\" and \"Colonnello\" located in Bussia vineyard of Monforte d?Alba. The yields per hectare are very low and the total production is about 80,000 bottles a year. Produced exclusively by hand with a very careful selection of the picked grapes always following a strict family tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir proudest achievement is the Barolo named \"GRANBUSSIA\" derived from the best of their Bussia vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, aged for over thirty months in oak casks and refined for a further six years. The GRANBUSSIA represents the purest and most virtuous essence of three different historical Bussia cru and it is only produced for those years that are felt as being worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eJames Suckling: 97 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eDense garnet in the glass. On the nose it?s restrained, with cinnamon, sweet violets, cherry pits and a balsamic whiff. The attack is full, with a dense palate that?s powerful yet velvety. The crisp, refined tannins are long. with deliciously integrated acidity. Great balance and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWine Spectator: 95 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"An intense version, with a solid backbone of tannins and fresh acidity defining its cherry, raspberry, iron, menthol and spice flavors.
