Prunotto - Barolo DOCG 2021 cl75
| Description |
Traditional Barolo, Prunotto's historic label, born with the 1905 harvest from the best grapes from vineyards in the heart of the Barolo denomination. The aging in large barrels of different capacities enhances the extraordinary typicality of the Nebbiolo of these areas. The 2021 vintage began with a mild winter, albeit rich in precipitation, including snow, which ensured excellent water supply in the soil. The vegetative recovery was regular, with light and limited frosts during mid-April which caused a reduction in production but did not affect the quality of the harvest. Spring began a long period of good weather that continued throughout the summer, where temperatures were recorded without excesses, in line with the averages for the period, with some thunderstorms between June and July. The excellent temperature ranges during the harvest period allowed the grapes to reach an excellent state of ripeness and a good balance in terms of sugar, freshness and polyphenolic content. The harvest began on October 6 and ended on the 15th of the same month. |
