2021 Piero Busso, Barbaresco, San Stunet 1x750ml

Vinous 95

The 2021 Barbaresco San Stunet offers up an exotic mix of deeply pitched spice notes, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and crushed rocks. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2021 packs a pretty serious punch. The San Stunet emphasizes spice, mineral and earthy notes while fruit lies more in the background, adding to its striking complexity and dynamic personality. [Antonio Galloni, 10/01/2025]

“The Piero Busso 2021 Barbaresco San Stunet is delicate and finely etched, emphasizing floral aromas of violets and subtle fruit over weight or power. Situated at 420 meters with a southeast exposure, the wine showcases the estate’s ability to translate altitude into aromatic precision. This Barbaresco highlights the advantages of small-scale farming, where attention to detail drives elegance and clarity.” [Monica Larner, 01/15/2026]
