WINE DESCRIPTION
The Prunotto Barolo Bussia is a robust and elegant red wine from the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It is made from the Nebbiolo grape, which gives it a deep ruby hue and intense aromas of dark fruit, leather, tobacco, and spice. On the palate, the wine offers flavors of ripe cherries, dried figs, tar, and licorice. Tannins are firm and lively, and the finish is long and balanced, with a lingering hint of spice. This full-bodied and complex Barolo is best enjoyed with rich game dishes, aged cheeses, or grilled vegetables.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Barolo from Prunotto is a classic example of the region's signature style.Aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, leather, tobacco, and earthy truffle mingle on the generous and inviting nose. On the palate, the wine offers a well-structured core of red and black fruits, with hints of baking spices, licorice, and tar. The tannins are ripe, yet firm and the finish is long and lingering with an elegant hint of vanilla. Enjoy this wine now, or cellar it for the next decade.
