Prunotto Barbaresco Secondine 2019
- Country Italy
- Barbaresco
- Grape Nebbiolo
- Case size 6/ 75
- Secondine is clear, bright red with ruby highlights. The nose is generous, intense, and seductive: floral aromas of violets and roses combine with hints of red fruit, especially raspberries and strawberries. The palate is pleasant and delicate, with a good balance between body and freshness and is defined by elegant, supple tannins.
Freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and crushed. Fermentation lasted approximately one week at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C (86 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter. The wine was aged for at least 12 months on oak barrels. Secondine was then aged for an additional period in the bottle before being released.

Winery | Secondine is one of the most historical zones of all zones of Barbaresco and of the Nebbiolo grape, situated as it is at the foot of the town in the small valley which, from the Tanaro river, reaches as far as the amphitheatre of Paje. A sub-zone already recognized as such by Lorenzo Fantini (1879), Secondine was then mentioned by Renato Ratti in his map of Barbaresco, published in 1984. The loamy soil and the amphitheatre, which can protect this vineyard, make this area a perfect one for the production of Barbaresco. Prunotto’s Secondine represents a profound interpretation of the Nebbiolo grape, characterized by an exceptional elegance and distinguished by round and velvety tannins in its structure. |
