The wine

Vinification
A historic Langhe DOC wine from Prunotto produced since the 1970’s. Soils are characterized by superficial sand, stratified levels of gravel and layers of clay and limestone that give the wine elegance and soft tannins.
Winemaking
Upon arrival in the cellar, freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins takes place over a period of 7 days at a maximum temperature of 29 °C (84 °F). Malolactic fermentation is completed before winter. The wine is aged for approximately 16 months and then bottled.
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
Occhetti is ruby red in color with garnet hues. The nose is elegant with notes of raspberries accompanied by hints of roses and licorice. The palate is full bodied and harmonious with a lengthy tannin-rich finish.
