Langhe DOC Nebbiolo “Occhetti” 2022 – Prunotto

Pure, elegant, and approachable Nebbiolo | Classic style with modern drinkability

Produced by the historic Prunotto winery, Langhe Nebbiolo “Occhetti” is one of the house's most representative wines, produced since the 1970s. The 100% Nebbiolo grapes come from well-exposed estate vineyards located in different areas of the Langhe, on sandy, gravelly, and clay-limestone soils, which give the wine elegance, delicate tannins, and aging potential.

A Nebbiolo that stands out for its accessibility and immediacy, while maintaining the typical finesse and structure of the grape variety. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages for 18 months in oak barrels of various sizes, evolving towards a mature and harmonious profile.
