{"product_id":"prunotto-barolo-bussia-2017","title":"Prunotto, Barolo Bussia 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrunotto Barolo Bussia 2017 is a distinctive expression of one of Barolo’s most celebrated crus, made from carefully selected grapes in the heart of Piemonte. Prunotto is known for balancing tradition and innovation, and this wine reflects that philosophy through its precision, depth, and clear sense of place. Bussia has long been regarded as a historic site for powerful, age-worthy Barolo, and this bottling continues that legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Barolo Bussia 2017 typically shows a garnet-red color with the brick-toned reflections that Nebbiolo is known for as it matures. The bouquet is layered and refined, with aromas of red cherry, dried rose, violet, licorice, and subtle earthy notes, followed by hints of spice, tobacco, and leather.\n\nOn the palate it is structured and elegant, with firm tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, precise finish. Expect a wine that evolves beautifully over time, gaining complexity and softness with bottle age. While approachable in due course, this is a Barolo with strong aging potential and can develop for many years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from the Bussia area in the Langhe, one of the most esteemed terroirs in Barolo, where marl-rich soils and a favorable hillside exposition help Nebbiolo achieve both structure and aromatic finesse. Prunotto manages its vineyards with great attention to soil and vine health, selecting only top-quality grapes from carefully studied parcels. Harvest timing is determined by vintage conditions, and vinification is guided by a combination of modern technology and respect for traditional regional methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle pasta, wild mushroom risotto, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours if opening young, as this will help the aromatics open and soften the tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrunotto has a long-standing reputation in Piemonte for producing wines that express the character of the Langhe and Monferrato with clarity and consistency.
