Bussia
Bussia is one of Barolo's largest and most recognized MGAs, which makes it different from small single-slope names. It sits in Monforte d'Alba and can produce Nebbiolo with substantial structure, savory depth, and dark red fruit, though style varies across its many exposures. For drinkers, Bussia shows that an MGA is a legally recognized named area, not always a tiny vineyard parcel.
