Prunotto Barolo Bussia 2017 750ml

Bright garnet crimson with purple highlights. Violet flowers, ripe red fruit, rose hips, rock candy, and dried fruit all add to the aroma. The palate is complex and mouth-filling, with a subtle sweetness on the assault. Ripe red wildberries, spicy notes, and magnificent roasted tastes. Fine-grained tannins and a juicy, delicate acidity characterize this skillfully built wine. There is a lot of grace and length in the finish.

Barolo Bussia DOCG is produced from the magnificent amphitheater-shaped vineyard in the Bussia Monforte d’Alba area. Prunotto originally produced this historic wine as a single vineyard wine in 1961. The vineyard’s diverse south to southwest exposure, as well as traditional aging in big barrels, enhance the balance and complexity of the Nebbiolo grape.
