Beppe Colla-era Prunotto at full maturity, a museum piece from a transformative era. From 1956 to 1994, Beppe Colla and his brother Tino ran Prunotto, and they did nothing less than reshape modern Barolo, inspired by Burgundy to bottle the first single-vineyard Barolo (Bussia, in 1961). Their style was uncompromisingly traditional: long macerations, large Slavonian botti, fruit and soil first, never the cellar. This 1980 Riserva carries that signature throughout. Forty-five years on, the wine is fully resolved into the secondary and tertiary register: dried fruit, tobacco, leather, truffle, fading sweet earth. A connoisseur's bottle from the Prunotto era that put traditional Barolo on the world map. Drink with care and a slow carafe.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Quiet, classical Piedmontese plates: agnolotti in butter and sage, roast capon, aged Toma or Castelmagno, white truffle shaved at the table if you can find it. Avoid heavy salt, smoke or strong spice that would overwhelm.

Tasting Profile

Translucent garnet edging brick. Dried cherry, dried rose, tobacco, leather, truffle, mushroom, sweet earth. Silky fully resolved tannins, gentle acidity, lingering savory finish. Fragile, evocative.
