An overt style, the candied nose showing red fruits, raspberries, roses and a touch of gingerbread. Sweet and medium-bodied on the palate, this has refreshing acidity and velvety tannins that turn dustier in the savory finish. Try from 2026.

A translucent medium ruby hue, the 2022 Barbaresco is zesty and spicy on the nose with forward notes of anise, orange zest, fresh mint, cranberry, and dried earth. The palate shows the fruity and sunny side of the vintage, and it’s medium-framed and light on its feet, with a clean and easygoing feel. It’s not the most profound wine, but it offers a lot of immediate appeal. Drink 2025-2032. (AF)

Notes

Prunotto Barbaresco is a distinguished Nebbiolo wine from one of Piedmont's most esteemed producers. Founded in 1904, Prunotto has a rich history of crafting high-quality wines that express the unique terroir of the Langhe region. The Barbaresco is sourced from select vineyards within the Barbaresco appellation, where calcareous soils and a favorable microclimate contribute to the grape's complexity and elegance. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for at least 12 months in oak barrels, this wine marries traditional winemaking techniques with modern precision. On the nose, it offers captivating aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and roses, accompanied by hints of licorice, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is medium-bodied yet robust, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, showcasing flavors of ripe red fruit, dried herbs, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and refined, reflecting the wine's excellent balance and aging potential. Prunotto Barbaresco pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as braised meats, truffle-infused pasta, or aged cheeses. While approachable in its youth with decanting, it will continue to develop complexity over the next decade or more. This Barbaresco exemplifies Prunotto's dedication to quality and the expressive character of Nebbiolo from this renowned region.
