The Barolo DOCG Bussia - vintage 2020 - is an impressive wine that delights with its complexity and elegance. Its deep ruby red color with garnet reflections invites you to linger and promises an intense taste experience. On the nose, it develops a seductive bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes of violets and roses as well as spicy nuances of licorice and tobacco.

The main grape variety in this wine is Nebbiolo, known for its strong structure, ripe tannins and pronounced acidity. The special feature of this wine lies in its origin from the renowned Bussia vineyard in the Barolo area, which is known for its unique terroir characteristics and ideal conditions for growing Nebbiolo grapes. Prunotto, a prestigious winery with a long tradition, produces this Barolo with the highest level of craftsmanship. The soil consists of calcareous clay soils, which shape the character of the wine.

The grapes for Barolo DOCG Bussia are carefully harvested by hand and brought to the winery in small crates. There, they are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks before being aged in large oak barrels for at least 24 months to develop their complex aroma and structure. The wine has an impressive balance of power and finesse, with ripe tannins and a long, elegant finish. This wine has the potential to develop and mature over many years and is often awarded high ratings by renowned wine critics.
