Aromas of wild rose and culinary spice pervade the glass along with red berry and a balsamic note of camphor after pouring the stunning 2021 Prunotto Bussia. On the delicious, elegantly structured palate, taut, refined tannins support succulent raspberry, Morello cherry, cake spice and blood orange. Fresh acidity keeps it bright and beautifully balanced.

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.

The 2021 Barolo Bussia is also a medium red color and has a more introspective and serious nose with notes of licorice, dark stones, red cherries, and leather. It fills the palate with ripe tannins, a ripe mid-palate, and a good finish with a note of sweet fruit and a light meaty feel, although it’s very well-integrated into the fabric of the wine. It has a bit more depth in the range and should drink well over the coming 12-15 years.
