Piero Busso is one of the established voices of Neive, working from the family estate founded in 1953 when his father Luigi began assembling parcels in Albesani, Gallina and the Bricco Mondino hillside. Over the past four decades Piero has developed a precise and site focused approach centred on meticulous vineyard work, organic practices, and long standing respect for the individual identities of Neive’s slopes. The estate remains completely family run, with Piero, his wife Lucia and their children Pietro and Emanuela involved in every step from pruning to bottling. Vineyards sit across calcareous sandy and clay marl soils at varying exposures around Neive, and all fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts, long macerations, and élevage in large Slavonian botti that protect finesse over power. The aim is always clarity of site expression rather than stylistic imprint.
Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 is produced from younger vines in Neive and from portions of the family’s Barbaresco crus that are not selected for the top bottlings. The 2023 season in the hills above Neive combined a cool spring, a warm balanced summer and a September marked by steady breezes that ensured healthy fruit and slow phenolic ripening. Grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and fermented with native yeasts, followed by a gentle maceration designed to emphasise perfume and purity rather than depth of extraction. Ageing took place in large old botti for several months, allowing the wine to settle naturally and retain the lifted character typical of Neive’s sand influenced soils. The result is an expressive and elegant Nebbiolo showing red cherry, rose, blood orange and fine chalky tannin, with a bright mineral thread and a clean, resonant finish.
