Prunotto 2011 Barbaresco DOCG 750ml

The 2011 Barbaresco is a pretty, entry-level offering. Sweet tobacco, crushed flowers, orange peel, spices, anise and dried cherries lift from the glass in a feminine, gracious Barbaresco with considerable near and medium-term appeal. Despite its mid-weight personality, the 2011 has more than enough depth and density to drink well for at least a handful of years.
