The 2022 Prunotto Barbaresco Classico DOCG is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont, crafted by the renowned Prunotto estate (Antinori family) with a focus on elegance, structure and terroir. Sourced from vineyards in the Barbaresco zone, it reflects the refined and approachable side of this prestigious DOCG appellation. The nose is complex and aromatic, showing red cherry, raspberry and rose, layered with notes of spice, licorice and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with bright acidity and fine, structured tannins, delivering a silky texture and a core of red fruit with savoury depth. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, combining freshness with classic Nebbiolo grip.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Barbaresco for customers looking to explore premium Nebbiolo with more finesse and earlier accessibility than Barolo. It’s ideal for those who enjoy structured, savoury reds with aging potential. Drink from 2025 onwards or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with roasted meats, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
