2023 Prunotto Occhetti Langhe Nebbiolo DOC

The 2023 Prunotto Occhetti Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is a classic and approachable expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont, crafted by the renowned Prunotto estate (Antinori family). Sourced from vineyards in the Langhe with sandy, clay and limestone soils, it reflects a refined, earlier-drinking style that highlights elegance and varietal purity. The nose is fragrant and lifted, showing red cherry, raspberry and floral notes of rose and violet, with hints of licorice and spice adding complexity.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity and fine, refined tannins, delivering a silky texture and a core of fresh red fruit with a subtle savoury edge. The finish is smooth, elegant and persistent, emphasizing balance and classic Nebbiolo character.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to Nebbiolo - offering the character of Barolo and Barbaresco in a more approachable, everyday style. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy elegant, savoury reds with freshness and structure. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with pasta, roasted meats, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
