Prunotto Barolo 2021

An elegant and sweetly perfumed offering, the 2021 Barolo pours a transparent medium red color and is a bit shy on opening, with notes of clove, strawberries, cedar, and fresh herbs. The palate has a nice level of tension to balance out its more supple Grenache-like fruit, and it has a zesty lift and light saltiness on the finish. It’s a very charming Barolo to drink over the next 10 years. Maturity: 2025-2045. Score – 91. (Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, May 1, 2025)
