Prunotto Barbaresco Bric Turot DOCG

Wine information: Notes - Prunotto is located in Alba, the most important focal point of the Langhe, equidistant from Barbaresco and Barolo, on the right bank of the Tanaro River. The property sits on a smooth plain surrounded by vineyards of the Langhe and Roero regions. In 1989, the Marchesi Antinori family began its collaboration with the Prunotto Company, at first handling distribution and later, in 1994, when the owners, the Colla brothers retired, getting directly involved in the production process, maintaining the excellent level of quality which previous owner Alfredo Prunotto had always insisted upon. One of the most important objectives set by the Antinori family together with the Colla brothers, was to produce wines from personally-owned vineyards and therefore to maintain more control over the final product right from birth. In the course of the last ten years Prunotto has invested a lot, especially with regards to updating its cellars and the technology of the aging of its wines. The Bric Turot vineyard is located in the Barbaresco zone, between Roncaglie and Tre Stelle; it extends over 5.30 hectares and has southeast / southwest exposure, at altitudes varying between 180 and 300 meters above sea level. A wine of great structure, complex and enchanting aromas and elegance. The wines is aged 12 months in 50 Hl oak barrels and a small quantity in second time used Barriques. A further 10 months of bottle ageing follows in the Prunotto cellars before shipping. 100% Nebbiolo. On the nose, deep and complex with hints of liquorice, forest fruits, violets, cinnamon and cloves. On the palate, full and well balanced with a persisting finish of mature fruits. Due to its structure and characteristics, it is a perfect match for meat dishes and cheeses.
