Gleaming ruby getting lighter towards the rim. On the nose, aromas of rose petals, ripe raspberries, a little pomegranate. These are enhanced by balsamic and warm, spicy notes. Intense and powerful on the palate. Wonderful tannin structure and a fine interplay of acidity. The aromas of the nose are reflected in the flavours. Long, aromatic and lingering finish.

Vinification
Colonnello is a special vineyard parcel within the Bussia area of Monforte d’Alba. The soil of the Colonnello has a high percentage of clay, unlike Bussia. Given this special feature, Prunetto vinifies the grapes from this location separately – as a Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured for 18 months in 50 hl French oak barrels. After bottling, the Colonnello is stored at the winery for 36 months before going on sale.
