Review: “Piero Busso’s 2007 Barbaresco Borgese offers up red berries, crushed flowers and mint along with a pretty, accessible personality. This shows terrific persistence and roundness in a deceptively medium-bodied style. An inviting, harmonious finish makes this an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020.” (Wine Advocate)
