Tasting notes
This program appears to have gone through quite a dramatic transformation over the past years, passing from more extracted wines to much lighter and brighter expressions instead. The Prunotto 2020 Barolo is a big release of nearly 134,000 bottles, with fruit sourced from a variety of vineyards. More than its DNA, however, it's the style of the wine that has taken a radical departure. This Barolo shows a light ruby color with a fragrant bouquet focused mostly but not only on violets and lilacs; red fruits follow with hints of aniseed and crushed stone. It's easy-drinking, but it also shows new purpose, and that's not an easy feat for a production this large.

The 2020 Barolo Serra is laced with hints of dried herbs, mint, iron, crushed flowers and spice. Earthy and also a touch austere, the 2020 is aromatically beguiling but also a bit light on the palate. Earthy and mineral notes extend the finish
