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

WA93
This is the top-shelf wine from the folks at Prunotto. The 2011 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello shows its pedigree but in a delicate and understated manner. The bouquet is indeed very complex with a long succession of intriguing aromas that span from pressed flower to wild berry to exotic spice. These elements are fitted together with the utmost precision. In the mouth, the wine shows a point of sourness, but it also moves over the palate with silky intensity and firm texture. The finish is extremely long and smooth.
