Barolo Bussia Di Monforte D'alba Riserva

1967 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Prunotto Barolo Bussia di Monforte d'Alba Riserva, crafted from the exquisite Nebbiolo grape, embodies the elegance and complexity of the Barolo region. This striking red wine showcases a deep garnet color, hinting at its maturity and richness. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with pronounced acidity that harmonizes beautifully with the layers of rich fruit intensity and subtle floral notes. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances its aging potential, while the wine remains beautifully balanced and approachable. The savory nuances of dried herbs and tobacco intertwine with hints of dark fruit, reflecting the terroir of the Barolo region. A captivating vintage, this 1967 masterpiece is a true testament to the excellence of Nebbiolo and the craftsmanship of Prunotto.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
