Product Description

The 2004 Alfredo Prunotto Barolo was produced exclusively from the Nebbiolo grapes of the Bussia vineyards in Monforte, which is one of the most esteemed and well-known sites in all of Barolo.

Prunotto began as a co-operative winery named “Wines of the Langhe” in 1904. The young winery languished during the First World War and was close to liquidation when the young Alfredo Prunotto took over with the help and support of his newlywed wife, Luigina. Prunotto Cellars quickly grew and prospered, recognizing new export markets in South America and the United States. When Prunotto retired, he passed the winery to his close friend, Beppe Colla. Years later, in 1989, the Antinori family became involved, and in collaboration with the Colla brothers, have continued the tradition that Prunotto began. The main objective has been to produce wines from estate-owned vineyards, reflecting unique characteristics and a high standard of quality.

International Wine Cellars (IWC) Review

IWC 92
Good full, deep red. Ripe, deep, slightly medicinal aromas of currant and black cherry. Big, broad, rich and sweet. In spite of its hint of medicinal austerity this really fills the mouth with perfume. An almost surprisingly round Barolo that finishes with lovely length and sweet, ripe tannins. I find this more open-knit than the '06, which will probably age longer.

Wine Advocate (WA) Review

The 2004 Barolo Bussia possesses an additional dimension of inner sweetness. This expansive, refined Barolo reveals an attractive array of ripe dark fruit, sweet toasted oak, spices, tar and licorice. The tannins are broad, yet silky and the wine appears to have more than enough plumpness to provide balance. The 2004 is one of the finest recent vintages of this wine. The Barolo Bussia is aged in a combination of small barrels and larger casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.

Wine Spectactor (WS) Review

Lots of dried dark fruits, along with flowers, follow through to a full body, with velvety, soft-textured tannins and a long, long finish. Polished and attractive. Best after 2011.
