Production notes

Grapes were carefully selected, destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins lasted for approximately 8 days at a maximum temperature of 30° C (86° F). Malolactic fermentation was completed before the end of winter. The wine was aged for at least 18 months in oak barrels of varying capacities, allowing Barolo to develop great balance.

Tasting notes

Prunotto’s Barolo is an intense garnet red color. An elegant and generous nose offers delicate spicy notes together with aromas of flowers and small red fruit. The palate is intense and well-balanced with soft, silky tannins. The finish is rich and persistent.
