Prunotto, Barolo Bussia other_regions_italy as it will almost certainlyVery dark ruby red. Intense blackberry, plum and Indian spices. Full bodied, with superripe, powerful tannins and a long, long finish. Balanced, refined and beautifully textured. Better than I remember. Impressive. 1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after 2009. 1,500 cases made. JS
