The 2022 vintage delivers purity of fruit and precision, wrapped in the classic, ageworthy framework that enthusiasts expect from top Piedmont reds.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Prunotto Barbaresco Bric Turot 2022 shows a vibrant garnet core with delicate brick reflections at the rim, typical of well-crafted Nebbiolo even in its youth. The nose is intricate and expressive, offering aromas of wild cherry, dried rose petals, violet, and blood orange, supported by notes of licorice, sweet spice, and a hint of underbrush and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a firm yet finely knit tannic structure, a hallmark of serious Barbaresco. Lively acidity carries flavors of red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, layered with hints of tar, leather, and subtle oak-derived spice. The finish is long, savory, and poised, suggesting excellent aging potential. While already approachable with a bit of air, this 2022 will evolve beautifully over the next 8–15 years, gaining further complexity and silkiness with time in the cellar.

Production
Bric Turot is a prized hillside cru in the Barbaresco appellation, characterized by calcareous clay and marl soils that give Nebbiolo both aromatic lift and structural depth. The vineyards benefit from optimal exposure and significant diurnal temperature swings, enhancing flavor concentration and preserving acidity. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure meticulous selection of only the healthiest, ripest bunches. In the cellar, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration to gently extract color, tannin, and aromatic compounds. The wine is then aged in oak (often a combination of large casks and/or barrels) before further refinement in bottle, allowing the tannins to integrate and the wine’s complex bouquet to fully develop.

Food & Serving
Prunotto Barbaresco Bric Turot 2022 pairs superbly with classic northern Italian cuisine and refined meat dishes. Try it with truffle risotto, tajarin pasta with butter and sage, braised veal shank, roasted lamb, game birds, or aged cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or mature Taleggio. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large Burgundy-style glasses to showcase its aromatics. Decant for 1–2 hours in its youth to soften the tannins and open up the bouquet; as the wine ages, a gentle 30–45 minute decant will suffice mainly to separate it from any sediment.
