Winemaker Notes
Red in color with ruby highlights, the wine displays floral aromas of rose petals along with perfectly ripe red fruit (raspberries and pomegranates) and spicy and balsamic notes. The flavors are intense with full, enveloping and supple tannins with a long and persistent finish and aftertaste.
Its solid structure and firm body are an excellent match with meat and game dishes and with cheese.

Wine Enthusiast
Forest floor, new leather, eucalyptus and dried herb aromas lead the nose while the structured, polished palate offers crushed Marasca cherry, pomegranate, white pepper and licorice flavors. Firm, refined tannins provide elegant support. Drink 2020–2030.

Wine Spectator
Extremely fragrant, with rose, raspberry, menthol and wild herb aromas straddling the floral, fruity and savory camps. Delicate and well-structured, with refined tannins playing off the sweet fruit as this winds down on the finish. Drink now through 2030.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is the top-shelf wine from the folks at Prunotto. The 2011 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello shows its pedigree but in a delicate and understated manner. The bouquet is indeed very complex with a long succession of intriguing aromas that span from pressed flower to wild berry to exotic spice. These elements are fitted together with the utmost precision. In the mouth, the wine shows a point of sourness, but it also moves over the palate with silky intensity and firm texture. The finish is extremely long and smooth.
