點擊次數(shù)：25088

Flowers and dried strawberries with hints of sandalwood and rosewood. Plenty of flowers. Medium body. Very fine and firm tannins. Crunchy and bright. Drinkable but better in three or four years.

Rich, with plum and cherry fruit, this red also reveals licorice, eucalyptus, tar and leather flavors. Broad and balanced, with the initial suppleness offset by a light stubble of tannins. Shows fine, salty length. Best from 2026 through 2042. 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Here is another historic wine from Prunotto, only this time it comes from one of the most recognized crus in Barolo. It represents an ample production of 25,000 bottles per year. The 2019 Barolo Bussia has an interesting bouquet with clear tones of blue flower, fruit and rusty mineral. These are the basic building blocks of Nebbiolo, and this wine presents them as distinct elements. A few more years of bottle age will help this wine reach better integration. Like most of these wines from Prunotto, the Bussia shows an easygoing personality for near and medium-term drinking.

Fragrant, boasting floral, berry, cherry, mown hay and eucalyptus flavors backed by an open profile. Firms up but remains compact and slim overall. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2024 through 2038. 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The 2018 Barolo Bussia reveals ripe fruit and a slightly burnt sensation that reminds me of scorched earth or toasted almond. Like some of the other wines in this Prunotto flight, I am hard pressed to find the complexity and depth that comes so naturally to Nebbiolo. Instead, this wine is simple and stripped down.
