Tasted before the wine was bottled, the Prunotto 2017 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello shows that point of candied cherry or raspberry that underlines the dry and hot conditions of the summer growing season. Beyond that note of ripeness, however, this wine does reveal more complexity in the form of black licorice, spice and crushed flowers. The parcel measures 4.5 hectares with south-facing exposures and clay and loam soils. Only 5,000 bottles were made.
