Nebbiolo 'Occhetti' Magnum Prunotto 2022 (Packaging)

The well-known Piedmontese wine producer Prunotto presents Langhe Nebbiolo 'Occhetti', a red wine in magnum format with a seductive personality made from grapes from the single vineyard Occhetti, in Monteu Roero. The Prunotto winery is based in the commune of Alba and has been managed since 1989 by the famous Marchesi Antinori family, initially engaged only in distribution and later, in 1994, also in production, always maintaining the very high quality standards that have characterised the winery since its foundation. The Langhe Nebbiolo 'Occhetti' is a historic label for the estate, produced since the 1970s.

Prunotto Langhe Nebbiolo 'Occhetti' Magnum is a 100% Nebbiolo whose grapes come from the vineyard of the same name in Monteu Roero, where the soils, located at an altitude of around 250 metres, are made up of shallow stratified sands with gravelly levels and clayey-calcareous intercalations. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, with the subsequent fermentation phase taking place in stainless steel tanks, accompanied by 7 days of maceration on the skins. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in large casks for 14 months before bottling and a further 4 months in glass.

'Occhetti' Langhe Nebbiolo Magnum from Prunotto has a transparent ruby red hue. The nose offers pleasant and complex hints of cherry jam, blackberry, raspberry, red rose, cinchona and liquorice. The taste is soft and warm, fresh and savoury, with a delicate tannic texture that guides the long, harmonious finish. This is an interpretation of Nebbiolo of great versatility in food and wine pairings, as approachable with various meat dishes as with mature cheeses and tasty mushroom-based first courses. A large Magnum format for unique and special gifts!
