The 2021 Prunotto Barolo Classico is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont, crafted by the renowned Prunotto estate (Antinori family) using fruit from key villages within the Barolo DOCG. It reflects a traditional style, combining elegance, structure and aging potential, with maturation in large oak casks to enhance complexity and balance. The nose is complex and perfumed, showing red cherry, strawberry and dried rose, layered with notes of spice, cedar, orange peel and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with bright acidity and fine, structured tannins, delivering a core of red fruit with savoury depth and mineral lift. The finish is long, refined and persistent, highlighting both finesse and classic Nebbiolo grip.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Barolo for customers looking to step into premium Nebbiolo with both approachability and aging potential. It’s elegant rather than heavy, with great balance. Drink from 2026 onwards or cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with roasted meats, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
