BUSSIA Barolo Prunotto Piedmont 2021 | Fulham Wine Co. – The Fulham Wine Company

Prunotto

A historic pillar of Piedmont since 1904, Prunotto is celebrated for its refined, classical style and its pioneering work in the legendary "Bussia" cru. Under the stewardship of the Antinori family, the estate prioritizes site-specific purity, utilizing traditional large oak casks to allow Nebbiolo’s signature rose and tar aromatics to unfurl naturally. The result is a portfolio of immense elegance and structural power that remains a benchmark for serious Barolo collectors.

Barolo

Known globally as the "King of Wines," Barolo is a majestic, fog-draped amphitheater in Piedmont where the Nebbiolo grape reaches its absolute pinnacle. This small network of steep, sun-drenched hills produces wines of immense structure, profound longevity, and a hauntingly beautiful aromatic profile of rose petals and tar. Its magic lies in a complex, Burgundy-like patchwork of site-specific crus defined by a deep geological divide. The bluish Tortonian marls of the west yield perfumed, silkier expressions, while the older, sandstone-rich Serravallian soils of the east forge powerful, broad-shouldered reds. Demanding years of patient aging in the cellar, a great Barolo is a cerebral, emotive wine meant for serious collectors and slow evenings.
