The Winery
A. Prunotto
The diversity of the vineyards of Prunotto ranges from your classic styled Dolcette d’Alba and Nebbiolo, to grappas made from Barbera d’Asti Costamiole. The vineyard sites are located throughout the Langhe and Monferrato, with vineyards separated into Bussia, Bric Turot, Costamiole, Mompertone and Bricco Colma. The winery as a whole is scientifically driven, focused on studying, researching, and experimenting with each vintage. Thus they adapt to the year and what it brings without a pre-set structure, which allows for huge potential with each vintage.
Tasting Notes
- WA92
- The 2004 Barolo Bussia possesses an additional dimension of inner sweetness. This expansive, refined Barolo reveals an attractive array of ripe dark fruit, sweet toasted oak, spices, tar and licorice. The tannins are broad, yet silky and the wine appears to have more than enough plumpness to provide balance. The 2004 is one of the finest recent vintages of this wine. The Barolo Bussia is aged in a combination of small barrels and larger casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
- WS92
- Lots of dried dark fruits, along with flowers, follow through to a full body, with velvety, soft-textured tannins and a long, long finish. Polished and attractive. Best after 2011.
