Garnet color with good intensity. On the nose, deep and complex with hints of liquorice. On the palate, full and velvety with a long finish. Due to its structure and characteristics, it is a perfect match for meat dishes and cheeses. Ideal serving temperature 17°C.

alcohol by volume: 14.0%
critical acclaim:

"There's very pure fruit on the nose, with blackberry, blueberry and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, with firm yet silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Best after 2011. 3,750 cases made. "

Wine Spectator

"Prunotto's 2005 Barbaresco is simply beautiful and quite classic. Menthol, pine, spices, toasted oak and dark fruit are just some of the nuances in this graceful wine. Soft- textured and generous on the palate, this Barbaresco possesses outstanding balance and class to spare. The estate's Barbaresco is aged in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. "

The Wine Advocate

"This vintage of Prunotto's bold Barbaresco delivers warm notes of mature blackberry, milk chocolate, luscious raspberry and cinnamon spice. There are also delicate background shadings of pipe tobacco, ash and natural rubber and the wine closes with a voluptuous, velvety feel and chewy finish."

This is a favorite. Placed all 6 in the cellar; want to let it age some. This is a bold yet light wine. Decanter prior to drinking; the wine will open up and be very smooth.
