Prunotto's classic 2021 gathers Nebbiolo from across the Barolo zone into a wine that shows the grape's perfume and grip without demanding a decade of patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrunotto has been a fixture in Alba since 1904 and now sits within the Antinori stable, which has sharpened the winemaking without flattening the house character. This bottling is a blend across communes rather than a single cru, which is the point — it delivers the Barolo experience at a sensible entry price. The 2021 vintage gave good ripeness with fresh acidity, a fine year for wines with balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it and you get the giveaway pale garnet of Nebbiolo, then a nose of rose petal, red cherry, dried herbs and a lick of tar. The palate is medium-bodied and firmly tannic in the way good Barolo should be, with sour-cherry acidity keeping everything lifted. There's a savoury, autumnal note of leather and truffle building on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrinking well now with a decant, and it will reward another five to eight years in the cellar. Around £50 for real Barolo character makes this a smart introduction to the region or a dependable midweek Piedmont pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16-18°C in a large Burgundy glass. Decant an hour ahead — Nebbiolo tannins soften and the aromatics bloom with air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBocca di Lupo in Soho for northern Italian plates. Trullo in Highbury, whose beef ragù is built for this.
