WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Prunotto Barolo 2021 is deep garnet red with ruby reflections. The nose is complex: aromas of red fruit and floral aromas follow over to notes of spices and impressions of forest floor and plums. The intense palate is characterized by soft tannins and a lengthy aftertaste. Outstanding aging potential.
TASTING NOTES:
Light in color but not intensity, this red is elegant, lacy and well-structured. Green olive, cherry, rose and wild rosemary flavors are underscored by a mineral element, while the texture remains silky and the aftertaste long and juicy.

An elegant and sweetly perfumed offering, the 2021 Barolo pours a transparent medium red color and is a bit shy on opening, with notes of clove, strawberries, cedar, and fresh herbs. The palate has a nice level of tension to balance out its more supple Grenache-like fruit, and it has a zesty lift and light saltiness on the finish. It’s a very charming Barolo to drink over the next 10 years.

The 2021 Barolo is a very pretty entry-level offering from Prunotto. Dried cherry, cedar, pipe tobacco and orange peel lend lovely aromatic presence to match the Barolo's mid-weight personality.
