Prunotto
Svinando.co.ukIf Barbera is the most widely cultivated vine in Piedmont, and Nebbiolo is what many consider to be the noblest, it is undoubtedly Dolcetto that Piedmontese farmers have always brought to their tables. A historic wine of the ancient Piedmontese winemaking tradition, in this version proposed by Prunotto it is aged in steel, to enhance the fragrance and vinosity of the fruit, typical of the variety. 100% Dolcetto harvested in the estate vineyards when perfectly ripe, on arrival in the cellar the grapes are destemmed and crushed. The maceration phase lasts about 7 days, at a controlled temperature, and after the alcoholic fermentation the malolactic fermentation is also promoted. This leads to the month of December, when the ageing phase begins in stainless steel tanks. Bright ruby red in colour, on the nose this Dolcetto reveals its vinous character, with notes of flowers and ripe fruit. In the mouth it is full and harmonious, with a pleasant almond aftertaste. A simple but not trivial wine, this Dolcetto is the perfect accompaniment to a rich Piedmontese bollito misto.
