Tasting notes
Showing a light ruby color, the Prunotto 2021 Barbaresco Secondine is sharp and chiseled in terms of its bouquet with pretty redcurrant and crème de cassis. This wine shows a bright bouquet with an elegant charge of primary fruit character. Hints of spice and toasted cinnamon make for subtle end notes. It finishes on the lean side, but it has balanced acidity to keep the momentum going. This is a classical wine from Prunotto (with 6,306 bottles released).

The 2021 Barbaresco Secondine offers notable textural substance and depth to play off its mid-weight personality. Macerated red cherry, kirsch, mint, cedar and sweet spice build nicely. Creamy and vibrant to the core, this mid-weight Barbaresco from Prunotto is a winner. This fruit is sourced from La Spinona.
Barbaresco. Just mid ruby. Leafy raspberry-fruit nose of great purity. Intense yet not heavy raspberry-fruit palate. Very long and dramatic and almost a little rich, but perfectly balanced by ripe acidity and grainy tannins. (WS)
