Drinkdate: 2026-2040

The Prunotto 2020 Barolo Bussia is very light and luminous in appearance with shiny ruby highlights. There is a note of sweet cherry, even candied cherry, that appears on the bouquet and just as intensely on the mid-palate. Bussia offers delicate fruit in this rendition without the extra brawn and muscle that is most often associated with this site. Instead, this expression focuses in on finesse and silkiness. Fruit comes from across eight hectares in Bussia, and 32,000 bottles were created as a result.

Exciting minerality with a subtle, savory layer of grilled citrus and plums. Touches of iron and savory baking spices, too. This is bright and incisive, with nuanced flavors and dusty, crumbled tannins. Long, minerally and expressive already. A joy to drink now, but can hold.
