Prunotto Prunotto Barolo Bussia 2021 750ml

A complex and austere wine with sleek aromas of red cherries, red currants, wax, violets and licorice. Full-bodied, it shows velvety tannins, a full-bodied palate, integrated and refreshing acidity and a crisp, chewy finish. A graceful interpretation of Bussia. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Barolo Bussia is a heady, beguiling wine. Dark fruit, spice, herbs, licorice and balsamic notes open in a mysterious, complex Barolo that reveals myriad shades of nuance over time. Muscular tannins appear on the mid-palate and finish as this deceptively mid-weight Barolo opens with a bit of coaxing. There's a lot of wine here. I can't wait to see how this ages.
