Barolo Bussia, comes from the imposing amphitheatre-shaped vineyard in the Bussia Monforte dAlba area. This historic wine was produced for the first wine in 1961 and it can be considered the first ever Barolo cru to be vinified as a single-vineyard wine. The balance and complexity of the Nebbiolo grapes are enhanced by the vineyards south-to-southwest exposure and the traditional ageing in large barrels.

Prunotto was founded as a cooperative (Ai Vini delle Langhe) in 1904, and after WWI, one of the members, Alfredo Prunotto, took over. On retirement he sold the company to the Colla brothers who were the first to map single vineyards in the Langhe area, releasing Barbera Pian Romualdo and Barolo Bussia in 1961. Antinori got involved in 1989, starting a plan of vineyard acquisition in the heart of the appellation.
