The 2022 Prunotto Barolo Classico is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Barolo appellation in Piedmont, crafted by Prunotto, one of the region's historic producers. Sourced from selected vineyards across the denomination, this vintage opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals, complemented by notes of liquorice, tobacco, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm yet finely woven tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Layers of red berries, plum and savoury spice are supported by hints of leather, earth and gentle oak, creating a beautifully structured wine with a long, persistent finish that reflects the elegance and complexity of Barolo.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Barolo for those who appreciate traditional Nebbiolo with both structure and finesse. Enjoy with a generous decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2042 for added complexity. Pair with braised beef, slow-cooked lamb, wild mushroom risotto, truffle pasta or aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
