Prunotto's Barbaresco is a traditional, full-bodied and austere expression: a wine with an unmistakable earthy and sylvan personality, endowed with all the greatest and most typical characteristics of the red wines produced in the Langhe. The Prunotto winery has in fact demonstrated, with expressions like this, that it knows how to be modern, dynamic and innovative while remaining faithful to the traditions and the territory, producing wines of great typicality and elegance at a very competitive price.
Prunotto's Barbaresco comes 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 the alcoholic fermentation. At the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine is left to mature for 12 months in large oak barrels of different capacities, then bottled and aged for another 12 months.
This Barbaresco has a deep garnet color, due to the high quantity of anthocyanins present in the grapes. The olfactory profile is dominated by complex notes of small red fruits, forest 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 goes perfectly with elaborate dishes based on red meat, game and aged cheeses.
