It takes its name from the historic \"Secondine\" hamlet, located in a small valley that stretches from the Tanaro river to Moccagatta, an area particularly suited for producing Nebbiolo with an elegant and complex profile.\nThis Barbaresco perfectly balances intensity and sophistication: a full-bodied wine with velvety tannins and great longevity, capable of narrating Prunotto's winemaking tradition through a profound and harmonious interpretation.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2020 vintage was characterized by balanced weather conditions: average temperatures and well-distributed rainfall favored regular grape ripening. The result is a Nebbiolo with great aromatic integrity, where fruit and freshness find a perfect balance. The manual harvest, carried out towards the end of September, allowed for the selection of only the best bunches, giving the wine elegance and gustatory precision.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Nebbiolo grapes are traditionally vinified, with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to allow for a delicate maceration on the skins, useful for extracting color and tannins without excessive astringency.\nThis is followed by an \u003cstrong\u003eaging period in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for approximately 12 months, during which the wine gains complexity, developing spicy notes and a rounder structure. After bottling, further aging in glass refines its harmony before release.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco DOCG 'Secondine' 2020 - Prunotto\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine that captivates with its balance of power and grace.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIt presents with a brilliant \u003cstrong\u003egarnet\u003c\/strong\u003e color with ruby reflections, typical of mature Nebbiolo, luminous and clear in the glass.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it releases elegant aromas of ripe \u003cstrong\u003ered fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e such as cherry and raspberry, followed by hints of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet, sweet spices, and tobacco\u003c\/strong\u003e.
