Prunotto 'Occhetti' Nebbiolo d'Alba, Piedmont (2023)
The 2023 Vintage
Prunotto is a historic benchmark in Piedmont, and their single-vineyard 'Occhetti' bottling is the definitive proof that Nebbiolo d'Alba can rival the complexity of its more famous neighbors. Sourced from the steep, sandy slopes of the Roero district, this wine captures the grape's most fragrant and elegant personality.
The cellar philosophy focuses on preserving the delicate aromatics that the sandy Occhetti soils naturally impart. Following a gentle destemming and temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is matured for roughly 12 months in large oak casks (botti) rather than small barrels. This traditional approach softens the tannins and integrates the structure without masking the Nebbiolo’s signature ethereal perfume or burying the fruit under heavy wood spice.
Pouring a glass reveals an incredibly inviting, high-definition profile of wild raspberry, red cherry, and crushed rose petal, all interwoven with a distinct hint of licorice. It is a highly intellectual, beautifully accessible red that commands attention through its satin-like texture and vibrant energy, offering a brilliant, immediate drinking experience for those who value the floral, silky side of Piedmontese wine.
