Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Prunotto's Barbaresco is Nebbiolo in its classic négociant register: dried cherry and tar over firm, grippy tannin and bracing acidity, with the rose petal, leather and iron that mark the appellation. Structured and serious, it wants rich, savoury food and a little patience.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
