Here is another historic wine from Prunotto, only this time it comes from one of the most recognized crus in Barolo. It represents an ample production of 25,000 bottles per year. The 2019 Barolo Bussia has an interesting bouquet with clear tones of blue flower, fruit and rusty mineral. These are the basic building blocks of Nebbiolo, and this wine presents them as distinct elements. A few more years of bottle age will help this wine reach better integration. Like most of these wines from Prunotto, the Bussia shows an easygoing personality for near and medium-term drinking.

Flowers and dried strawberries with hints of sandalwood and rosewood. Plenty of flowers. Medium body. Very fine and firm tannins. Crunchy and bright. Drinkable but better in three or four years.

Rich, with plum and cherry fruit, this red also reveals licorice, eucalyptus, tar and leather flavors. Broad and balanced, with the initial suppleness offset by a light stubble of tannins. Shows fine, salty length. Best from 2026 through 2042. 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
