Barbaresco Prunotto 2023

The Barbaresco from Prunotto is a traditional, full-bodied and austere expression: a wine with an unmistakable earthy and wild personality, endowed with all the greatest and typical characteristics of red wines produced in the Langhe. The Prunotto winery has indeed demonstrated, with expressions like this, that it can be modern, dynamic, and innovative while remaining faithful to traditions and the territory, producing wines of great typicity and elegance at a very competitive price.

 The Barbaresco from Prunotto is made from Nebbiolo grapes harvested in the municipalities of Treiso and Barbaresco, from vines rooted in a soil rich in the so-called Marne di Sant’Agata, with a high presence of manganese, zinc, and boron. The production process involves maceration on the skins for about 10 days during alcoholic fermentation. At the end of malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in large oak barrels of different capacities, then bottled and refined for another 12 months.

 This Barbaresco presents a deep garnet color, due to the high quantity of anthocyanins present in the grapes. The aromatic profile is dominated by complex notes of small red fruits, woodland spices, leather, tobacco, and violets. On the palate, it reveals good body, structure, and persistence. The sip is supported by an elegant freshness and fine tannins and pairs perfectly with elaborate dishes based on red meat, game, and aged cheeses.
