This a lean and tapered expression of Nebbiolo. The 2018 Barolo shows a thin garnet appearance and proceeds to a rather loud moment on the bouquet with big cherry and associated primary fruit. It is easy on the palate, offering more fruit and soft tannins along the way. Overall, this is a simple wine that lacks in significant depth.

About this wine
Prunotto is a renowned producer of Barolo, one of the most prestigious wines in Italy. The history of Prunotto dates back to 1904 when Alfredo Prunotto founded the winery in the heart of the Langhe region. Today, the winery is owned by the Antinori family, one of the most respected wine families in Italy.
Barolo is made from the Nebbiolo grape, which is grown in the Piedmont region of Italy. The grape is known for its high tannins and acidity, which give Barolo its characteristic structure and longevity. Prunotto's Barolo is made from grapes grown in the vineyards of Bussia, a sub-region of Barolo known for its high-quality grapes.
Prunotto's Barolo is made using traditional methods, with a long maceration period and aging in oak barrels. The wine is aged for at least two years in oak barrels, which gives it a complex and elegant flavor profile. The wine has aromas of red fruit, spices, and leather, with a full-bodied and tannic palate.
Prunotto also produces a range of other wines, including Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba, and Barbaresco. These wines are also made using traditional methods, with a focus on quality and terroir. The Barbera d'Alba is a fruity and easy-drinking wine, while the Dolcetto d'Alba is a lighter wine with a fresh and fruity character. The Barbaresco is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barbaresco region, which is known for producing wines with a more elegant and refined character than Barolo.
Overall, Prunotto is a producer of high-quality wines that reflect the terroir and traditions of the Piedmont region. Their Barolo is a standout wine, with a complex and elegant flavor profile that is sure to impress wine lovers.
