Barolo Prunotto 2020

The Barolo signed by the Prunotto winery is a muscular red from Piemonte, which immediately announces itself as rich in aromas and broad sensations. The Nebbiolo, a grape variety used in purity to give life to this important Italian denomination, expresses itself with typical floral and fruity notes, capable of evolving with character and personality in the coming years. Yes, because this label, among its many qualities, also has the ability to be forgotten in the cellar for the next decades, to be tasted in a more complex version.

This Barolo from Prunotto is born from an indigenous red grape that, within the Langhe of Piemonte, reaches memorable qualitative peaks, the Nebbiolo. The grapes of this variety are cultivated in the area of Monforte, Castiglione Falletto, and Serralunga, in vineyards characterized by a subsoil composed of Sant’Agata marls. Once in the facilities designated for winemaking, the grapes are destemmed, then fermented in steel containers, macerating for 10 days at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees, also undergoing malolactic fermentation. We then proceed with the phase of aging, which initially develops for 24 months in barrels of different capacities, and then, after bottling, for another 12 months directly in glass.

The Barolo branded Prunotto reveals itself to the eye with a very intense color, reminiscent of garnet. The nose is very satisfying, orchestrated on engaging notes where flowers and fruit take center stage, also aided by light spicy nuances. On the palate, it has excellent body, clarity, with a energetic and vigorous sip, at times austere due to the evident tannic structure; it finishes with a persistent finale, characterized by a slightly bitter aftertaste. A great red from Piemonte, the result of the excellent work done by the Prunotto team, a winery owned by one of the most important families in Italian wine, the Antinori, which confirms itself as one of the reference realities in the entire Piemonte wine scene.
