Bric Turot
The wine
This balanced and pleasant Barbaresco is the result of the vineyard’s diversified exposure due to the shape of the “bricco” (the summit of a hill).
Vinification
This balanced and pleasant Barbaresco is the result of a combination of factors: the vineyard’s diversified exposure due to the shape of the “bricco” (the summit of a hill in local dialect), a specific clonal selection and aging in barrels of different capacities.
Winemaking
Immediately upon arrival in the cellar, grapes were destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins takes place over a period of approximately 10 days at a temperature that does not exceed 30 °C (86 °F). Malolactic fermentation is completed before winter. The wine was aged in oak barrels of varying capacities for about 12 months. Bric Turot is then aged in the bottle for a year before being released.
Historical Data
The Prunotto estate is located in Alba, the most important city in the Langhe area halfway between Barbaresco and Barolo on the right side of the Tanaro river, on gentle plains surrounded by vineyards in the Langhe and Roero territories. The natural beauty of the gently rolling hills alternate with small sloping valleys covered by rows of meticulously cultivated vineyards. The Antinori family, charmed by such rich natural beauty, unique vineyards and soils, decided to invest time and energy in this terroir to make Prunotto one of the most important winemaking estates in the Piedmont region.
Tasting Notes
Bric Turot is an intense ruby red color, lively and luminous. On the nose, aromas of wild berries meet notes of white pepper, licorice and aromatic herbs in particular pine, white mint, and laurel. The palate is velvety, harmonious, elegant, and defined by a lengthy persistent finish.
