The wine Barbera d’Asti Superiore from the Bussi Piero winery

The Barbera d’Asti Superiore of the historic Bussi winery in the Calosso area in the province of Asti, has the great advantage of been produced  in a wonderful land for wines such as Piedmont which also produces Moscato, Dolcetto, Barbera del Monferrato and Piedmont Bonarda. The splendid hills between the Langhe and Monferrato are in fact the heart of the Unesco heritage area and  it is in this location you can find the majority of the vineyards . The Bussi company begins to make wine only after the Second World War.
