Prunotto Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2020

Description

The Prunotto Barolo DOCG 2020 from Piedmont, Italy, is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo that embodies the soul of this storied region. Pouring a brilliant garnet with subtle orange flecks, it immediately hints at the depth to come. The nose is a mesmerizing bouquet of dried rose petals, ripe cherries, and tar, interwoven with earthy notes of truffle and a touch of spice—classic Barolo at its finest. On the palate, it unfolds with a refined intensity: firm, velvety tannins frame a core of tart red fruit, while vibrant acidity keeps it fresh and lifted. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a whisper of leather and licorice that promises even greater complexity with age. This 2020 vintage is both powerful and poised, a testament to Prunotto’s mastery in crafting a Barolo that’s approachable now yet built for the cellar. A true Piedmont treasure.
