Descrizione

The Bussia Barolo DOCG from Prunotto is a red wine labeled Barolo DOCG that expresses a balance of structure and finesse. In the glass it shows a garnet red colour, offering complex aromas recalling ripe red fruit, light floral notes and spicy nuances. With aeration more earthy and balsamic tones emerge, adding aromatic depth. On the palate it has full body, tannins that are present but well integrated and good acidity that supports the drinking experience to a long, persistent finish.

It pairs well with meat dishes, game, rich sauces and aged cheeses; it can also be suited to more structured pairings. Before serving it is advisable to open the bottle or decant it to help the aromas develop and bring it to a serving temperature of around 16–18 °C. Storage in a cool, stable place will help preserve its characteristics over time. Produced by the Prunotto winery, it is an option for those seeking a Barolo of character and potential longevity.

Winery history

Prunotto was born from the experience of the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe' and takes its name from Alfredo Prunotto, who assumed its leadership. In the post‑war period, management passed to technical figures such as Beppe Colla, who in the 1960s initiated the practice of separate vinification of crus. From the late 1980s a commercial collaboration and subsequent integration with the Marchesi Antinori family developed; from the 1990s Albiera Antinori contributed to steering the company’s strategy toward the acquisition and enhancement of prestigious vineyards and varietal development.

Production philosophy

The production approach combines respect for local tradition with openness to innovation: careful vineyard management, enhancement of individual crus, and experimentation with grape varieties, to express the territorial character in specific labels.

Terroir and vineyards

The winery operates in the Langhe and Monferrato region, with vineyards and cru sites distributed across the Barolo, Barbaresco, Nizza, Alba and Monferrato areas. Historic sites include Bussia, Bric Turot, Costamiòle, Pian Romualdo, Bricco Colma and other parcels in Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.

Awards and recognitions

Individual wines from Prunotto have received recognition in international competitions and rankings; some labels have been awarded medals in competitions such as the International Wine Competition / Rodeo Uncorked.
