About This Wine
Prunotto’s Barolo is an intense garnet red color. An elegant and generous nose offers delicate spicy notes together with aromas of flowers and small red fruit. The palate is intense and well balanced with soft, silky tannins. The finish is rich and persistent.
Despite several snow events and very limited rainfall, winter 2019 saw temperatures that were higher than seasonal averages prompting early vine growth
especially in those vineyards with the most favorable sunlight exposure. The month of April until the end of May brought cold temperatures and rain showers
that affected flowering, reducing the number of berries per cluster resulting in lower yields. June delivered a hot, dry weather which was followed by rain during the last half of July. Optimal day/night temperature swings in August and frequent cluster
thinning in the vineyards preserved whole, healthy fruit. September began with a period of brief yet intense rainstorms that gave way to higher temperatures and clear sunny skies until mid- October. This wasn’t an easy vintage, with an extended harvest window and limited yields however, the grapes were of impeccable quality
