Prunotto Barbaresco 2019
$45
A lightly sinewy red, with macerated cherry and raspberry fruit accented by rose hip and thyme. Remains vibrant on the chalky finish, where tannins lend support and the red fruit and floral flavors fade gracefully. Best from 2025 through 2043. 800 cases imported.

Primary Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
