Prunotto, Secondine Vintage:2017 A huge rush of cedar

A huge rush of cedar and vanilla greet the nose on opening

like a number of 2002s today

There is excellent volume to the medium-bodied and admirably concentrated flavors yet this is not really a powerful wine so much as it is focused and harmonious

Paolo De Marchi gave the 2013 a year in barrique and second year in cask

Prunotto, Secondine Vintage:2017 A huge rush of cedarFrom a little known MGA site in the village of Barbaresco, the 2018 Barbaresco Secondine is a new submission from Prunotto. The wine opens to a lean consistency and a bright ruby color. Aromas of forest berry, cassis and sweet cranberry set the tone for a delicate and elegantly streamlined expression of Nebbiolo. The tannic power of the wine is also contained, and you are best off drinking it young.
