Prunotto Bussia Barolo

This red wine, the Bussia Barolo, is the showpiece, the king of the Prunotto winery. An unforgettable wine with incredibly deep flavors, made from a single vineyard named Bussia. This Cru boasts the finest characteristics, resulting in one of the finest Barolo wines. This is also partly due to the winery's long history. In 1904, Giacomo Oddero and Alfredo Prunotto founded the winery as a cooperative. It was called Cantina Sociale "Ai Vini delle Langhe," but the company's history was short. Due to many negative factors during this time, the winery closed, but Alfredo Prunotto didn't let that happen. A few years later, he purchased the winery and continued under his own name. This proved to be a resounding success, as the wines are now renowned worldwide. Today, none other than the Antinori family has taken over the winery following Alfredo Prunotto's retirement. This further improved the quality of the wines and they are now sold all over the world.

The old Bussia vineyard of Prunotto

This red Barolo from Prunotto is made from a single vineyard called Bussia. Barolo Bussia DOCG comes from the beautiful amphitheater-shaped vineyard in the Bussia Monforte d'Alba area. This historic wine was first produced by Prunotto as a single-vineyard wine in 1961. The balance and complexity of the Nebbiolo grapes are enhanced by the vineyard's varied south- to southwest-facing exposure and traditional aging in large barrels. The harvest is entirely hand-harvested, and each bunch is inspected during harvesting. This Bussia Barolo is then aged in oak for a full eighteen months in Prunotto's cellars. Only when the wine is perfect are the bottles sold, and that can sometimes take quite a while. Therefore, the bottles are aged in the bottle for at least another few months in Prunotto's cellars.
