Riserva

To differentiate from Prunotto’s Bussia annata bottling, winemaker Gianluca Torrengo uses 20%-30% stems (but not whole berries) for this single-vineyard Riserva. He says it gives dimension and crisp tannins. Tasted blind, it expressed itself with intriguing subtleties and understated elegance. Aromas of almond, fragrant wild broom and spicy herbs are discreet. Svelte and linear, the palate is modestly concentrated. It highlights flora and mineral elements with lemongrass, citrus blossom and wet stone. Tannins are very fine boned. Mouthwatering and floral on the finish, this is not for those seeking overt power.
