In the glass, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003emedium-intensity ruby red colour\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it develops a defined aromatic profile, enlivened by clear \u003cstrong\u003enotes of raspberry, rose and liquorice\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003esmooth texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and a full body, leading to a harmonious and persistent finish. Its balanced structure makes it perfect to accompany filled pasta, meat main courses and cheese selections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nebbiolo grapes used for this wine come from the area of Alba, between the Langhe and Roero. The vineyards in the Occhetti area are located at about 250 metres above sea level, with an optimal \u003cstrong\u003esouth and south-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures ideal ripening of the grapes. The distinctive element lies in the geology of the soil, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003eshallow marine sands\u003c\/strong\u003e alternating with layers of gravel and clay-limestone sediments. This specific composition gives the Nebbiolo finesse and great structural rigour. Prunotto enhances these \u003cstrong\u003eunique pedoclimatic characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e, faithfully translating the peculiarities of the Piedmontese territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins in early October with the harvesting of the Nebbiolo. After destemming and crushing, the must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with maceration on the skins for about ten days. Malolactic fermentation is completed before winter, stabilising the organoleptic profile. This is followed by a period of \u003cstrong\u003eageing in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and barriques for twelve months, a choice aimed at enriching the structure without overpowering the fruit. A further \u003cstrong\u003erest in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e for four months consolidates the overall taste harmony before release to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe renowned Nebbiolo Occhetti is one of the crown jewels of Prunotto, a historic winery founded in Alba in 1923 thanks to the vision of Alfredo Prunotto. Produced under the supervision of oenologist Gianluca Torrengo, this \u003cstrong\u003estill red wine\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from lush vineyards situated at an altitude of 250 metres.
