Description
Still red from Piedmont, Barbaresco DOCG, 14% ABV, produced by Prunotto. 100% Nebbiolo. 0.75 L bottle, 2020 vintage. A Barbaresco born in the heart of the Langhe, where the Antinori family has successfully enhanced Nebbiolo, creating an elegant and complex wine. Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and pressed. Maceration took place over approximately 10 days at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter. Aged for at least 12 months in oak barrels. Secondine further refined in bottle for a few months before being released. The nose is complex, with sensations of raspberry and rose that blend beautifully with notes of tobacco, white pepper, and licorice. On the palate, it is elegantly structured and harmonious, with fine and sweet tannins.
