Prunotto Barolo Bussia Vigna Colonnello Riserva | 2018 | 750ml

About This Wine

Vigna Colonnello is a parcel within the Bussia vineyard in Monforte d'Alba, where Prunotto has its winery, and its Barolo Riserva is the estate's flagship. Prunotto made its first Bussia Barolo in 1961. Offered in the 2018 and 2019 vintages.

Prunotto traces its roots to a growers' cooperative founded in 1904, which Alfredo Prunotto took over in 1923 and renamed. Under Beppe and Tino Colla from 1956 it became one of the first houses in the Langhe to bottle single vineyards separately, starting with Barolo Bussia and Barbera d'Alba Pian Romualdo in 1961. The Antinori family has run the estate since the 1990s.

Serving

Serve at 60 to 65°F, and decant young bottles for an hour or two. Pairs with grilled beef or venison.

About Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is a powerful yet pale red with cherry, rose, tar and dried herbs, searing acidity and formidable tannins built for aging. Its cool Piedmont home sharpens its tannic, aromatic profile.
