This full-bodied red wine hushes the senses with complex aromas of red fruit, liquorice and dried flowers with subtle hints of spice and tobacco. On the palate, it is elegant and harmonious, adeptly balancing acidity with firm tannins to elicit flavours of plum, cherry and truffle. This seductive wine culminates in a velvety finish, leaving an indelible experience on the palate. Maturation in oak barrels lends an additional layer of intensity. Antinori Prunotto Barolo Bussia DOCG is a sophisticated accompaniment to rich meat dishes.

The Barolo Bussia, ruby red in color with garnet highlights, is luminous and vivid in color. The nose is complex and is characterized by floral notes and notes of red fruit. The palate is intense with a texture of sweet and silky tannins, while the finish and aftertaste are long and balanced.
