Prunotto Description
Prunotto Barolo Bussia shines with a bright, lively garnet-red color highlighted by ruby hues, setting the tone for its beautifully expressive character. The nose unfolds with vibrant notes of blood orange and ripe plum, mingling with elegant floral aromas of roses and violets and accented by pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of forest floor. On the palate, it’s intense and juicy, supported by supple tannins and outstanding freshness that carries through to a long, persistent finish filled with rich fruity layers and subtle hints of aromatic herbs. Engaging, complex, and food-friendly, it’s a perfect match for truffle dishes, braised meats, wild mushroom pasta, aged cheeses, and hearty northern Italian fare.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points
This is light and more on the elegant side, offering cherry, strawberry, hay, green olive and iron flavors. It's lively and resonant, picking up a line of powdery tannins as it winds down on the finish. Vibrant and long in the end.
Wine Advocate
The Prunotto 2021 Barolo Bussia (with 20,000 bottles released) is a little shy or closed on first nose and will require extra time in bottle before you pop the cork. This estate has eight hectares of vines in Bussia to source fruit from. It exhibits a lean and delicate consistency with blue flowers, orange peel and redcurrant. There are hints of grilled herb as well. Winemaking is simple, with phases in stainless steel and oak.
