Prunotto Bussia Barolo DOCG

The Bussia is one of the most renowned sites in the heart of Barolo – and Prunotto is one of the wineries that helped shape this cru philosophy in Piedmont. Anyone who wants to get to know Nebbiolo in its structured, age-worthy form will find a classic entry point here.

Prunotto was founded in 1904 in Alba and has been part of the Antinori group since 1989, which continues to manage the winery with a view to Piedmontese tradition. The Bussia site in Monforte d'Alba lies at an altitude of around 350 meters – tuff and marl shape the soil and give the Nebbiolo its characteristic minerality and tannin structure.

In the glass, the wine shows the typical profile of a classically aged Barolo: aromas of cherry, dried rose, and violet, plus notes of tar and tobacco that gain depth with aging. The tannins are present but integrated – the finish long and spicy with a fine line of acidity.

Serving suggestion: Now with some air, pairs with Brasato al Barolo, wild boar goulash, or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Serving temperature 17–18 °C.
