Prunotto Vigna Colonnello Barolo Riserva Bussia 2018, Antinori

£190.00 per bottle

NEW

ABV 14.0%

Vigna Colonnello, produced in 2008 for the first time, is made with the grapes from one single prized hectare (2.5 acres) in the Monforte d’Alba area. This wine represents the two combined spirits of the Barolo territory and celebrates the encounter of two first-class terroirs. A wine with silky tannins capable of expressing the finesse and elegance of Tortonian soils while exalting the structure and power of Serravallian terrain.

Prunotto was founded as a cooperative (“Ai Vini delle Langhe”) in 1904, and after WWI, one of the members, Alfredo Prunotto, took over. On retirement he sold the company to the Colla brothers who were the first to map single vineyards in the Langhe area, releasing Barbera Pian Romualdo and Barolo Bussia in 1961. Antinori got involved in 1989, starting a plan of vineyard acquisition in the heart of the appellation.
