A dense red, with macerated cherry and berry flavors shaded by licorice, hay, menthol and a hint of leather. Though light-bodied, this is intense and persists, with ripe fruit on the finish. Offers excellent balance and length. Best from 2026 through 2042. 800 cases imported.

The 2020 Barbaresco is gorgeous. Bright, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2020 is everything Barbaresco should be. Crushed rose petal, sweet red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and spice all grace this wonderfully expressive, open-knit Barbaresco from Prunotto.

Aromas of wild raspberries with floral undertones lift from the glass of this classic Barbaresco followed by present but subtle earthy tones. The juicy palate is loaded with tart red fruits balanced by medicinal herbs and sweet spices. Supple tannins are lifted on the finish by the vibrant acidity. Drink now–2035.
