WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Prunotto Barolo 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:
Restrained Barolo full of leafy lightness, lemon bush and fresh strawberries, red currants, fresh violets and spicy depth among tar, rhubarb and licorice. Quite full-bodied, velvety and refined with firm dusty, yet ripe tannins and refreshing acidity. Very focused and savory with a polished aftertaste. Drink or hold.

Coming from vineyards across Barolo, Monforte, Serralunga, and La Morra, the 2022 Barolo pours a bright ruby hue and reveals aromas of ripe raspberries, grenadine, pressed flowers, sweet tea leaf, and earthy undertones. The palate is medium-bodied, with broader, riper tannins, yet remains balanced and weightless with good freshness through the finish. It was destemmed and fermented in stainless steel before aging in large barrels. Drink this approachable Barolo over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2038.

Showing a lean ruby appearance, the Prunotto 2022 Barolo opens with a distinctive floral note that blends the sweetness of rose with the dry, fragrant character of chamomile. Those lifted aromatics gradually give way to sweet cherry and raspberry that underscore the accessible, fruit-forward personality of the warm vintage. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in large oak casks, the wine is streamlined and uncomplicated with a relatively short finish, making it a Barolo best enjoyed over the near term.
