Piedmont is renowned for its red wines, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape.

Additionally, the region produces other notable wines, including Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba, and Gavi. These wines exhibit unique characteristics that reflect the local terroir and grape varieties.
Piedmont's fine wines are a true expression of artistry and tradition, showcasing the region's commitment to excellence.

Wine Advocate (94)The Prunotto 2020 Barolo Bussia is very light and luminous in appearance with shiny ruby highlights. There is a note of sweet cherry, even candied cherry, that appears on the bouquet and just as intensely on the mid-palate. Bussia offers delicate fruit in this rendition without the extra brawn and muscle that is most often associated with this site. Instead, this expression focuses in on finesse and silkiness. Fruit comes from across eight hectares in Bussia, and 32,000 bottles were created as a result. |

Vinous (94)The 2014 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is an eccentric wine. Soaring floral and savory nuances give the 2014 an incredibly distinctive upper register. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2014 nevertheless has plenty of depth as well as freshness. Appreciating it requires a palate reset, as vinificaton with whole clusters (50%) is not common in Barolo. The 2014 is an incredibly intriguing wine, but it needs to really be taken on its own terms because it is undeniably quirky. A few hours of aeration works wonders in helping the wine come together and assimilate the strong stem character that is so pronounced upon first opening. |

Vinous (93+)The 2015 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is a wild, eccentric wine. The use of whole clusters lends quite a bit of savory intensity. Sage, tobacco, holiday spicecake, cedar, blood orange and macerated cherry all develop with a bit of aeration. The tannins just need to soften. If they do this could be a very intriguing wine, but slight hints of oxidation make it hard to understand the direction the 2017 is headed in. No matter what, the Colonnello is a pretty exotic Barolo with a lot of character. |

Wine Advocate (95)Distinguished by its black label, the Prunotto 2018 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is made just like all the other wines in this portfolio (with fermentation in steel tank and oak aging), but this bottle stands apart thanks to its vintage. The 2018 growing season saw uneven results when first released to market, but it has been reevaluated since, with some truly beautiful wines making their mark today. This wine is elegantly tempered by age with spice and licorice, but it also shows bright cherry and blood orange that underline healthy fruit. It finishes on a fine and silky note, with a hint of sweetness too. This is a 5,954-bottle release. |

Wine Advocate (95)In addition to its ongoing stylistic evolution, Prunotto has recently added a few important new sites to its holdings, including this 1.5-hectare parcel in Serralunga d'Alba with ancient Sant'Agata marl soils. The 2020 Barolo Cerretta shows more structural heft at the back with red and blue fruit, blood orange and rusty nail. I also get root and bramble that add an earthy side to the bouquet. This is a release of 9,140 bottles. |

Offers a supple texture and good sweetness and depth for normale, but also a juicy freshness and firm structure. In fact, the flavors of strawberry and mint show a slightly medicinal aspect and seem a bit closed, with the wine's tannins apparent today. |

In the glass, the 2016 Rocche is seamless and silky, with striking textural richness and persistence. Super-ripe red cherry, red plum, rose petal, mint and kirsch infuse the 2016 with layers of nuance. All the elements meld together in a rich, sumptuous Barolo that captures the essence of this great La Morra cru. |

Vinous (93)The 2018 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is a very pretty and elegant wine. In 2018, there is maybe just a bit more nervousness and tannic spine than most years. Floral and spice accents lift the bright red/purplish fruit. At times relatively open and forward, while in other moments more restrained, the 2018 is full of complexity. This is nicely done. |
