Nebbiolo Langhe Occhetti DOC 2021 Prunotto

The notable Piedmontese winery Prunotto presents the Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Occhetti’, a red wine with a seductive personality made from the grapes of the single vineyard Occhetti, located in Monteu Roero. The Prunotto winery is based in the municipality of Alba and has been managed by the famous Marchesi Antinori family since 1989, initially involved only in distribution and later, in 1994, also in production, always maintaining the high-quality standards that have characterized the winery since its foundation. The Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Occhetti’ is a historic label for the estate, produced since the 1970s. Prunotto Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Occhetti’ is 100% Nebbiolo, with grapes coming from the homonymous vineyard in Monteu Roero, where the soils, located at about 250 meters above sea level, are composed of shallow sands layered with gravel levels and intercalated clay-limestone layers. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed, with the subsequent fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks, accompanied by 7 days of maceration on the skins. After the completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in large oak casks for 14 months before bottling and further resting in glass for 4 months.
