Prunotto Langhe Nebbiolo Occhetti DOC 2022
(Piedmont, Italy)

Notes from the Winemaker:
A historic wine from the Prunotto estate produced since the 1970’s. Soils are characterized by superficial sand, stratified levels of gravel and layers of clay and limestone that give the wine elegance and soft tannins.

Harvest and Vinification
Harvested grapes were destemmed and crushed upon arrival in the cellar. Maceration on the skins took place over a period of 7 days at a maximum temperature of 29 °C (84 °F).  Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter. The wine was aged for approximately 18 months and then bottled.

Tasting Notes:
Occhetti is ruby red in color with garnet hues, typical of this grape variety. Its nose is elegant with notes of raspberries that smoothly merge with hints of roses and licorice. The palate is full, harmonious with a lengthy tannin-rich finish.

Ratings & Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck: 
"A pale ruby hue, the 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Occhetti offers attractive notes of cinnamon, pomegranate, fresh flowers, and tangerine. The palate is elegant and lightweight but ripe, with a gently floral and fruity personality. It is a pretty wine to drink over the near term with a nice layer of spice." - Audrey Frick (May 2025)
