Tasting notes

The Prunotto Barbaresco DOCG 2022 presents a luminous garnet hue. On the nose, a complex bouquet unfolds, revealing classic notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose petals, underpinned by nuances of liquorice, tar, and a subtle hint of spice. The palate is structured and elegant, with firm yet integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that carry the concentrated red fruit and floral characteristics through to a long, persistent finish. This wine, while approachable in its youth, possesses the inherent balance and depth to evolve gracefully over many years.
