The Langhe Nebbiolo Occhetti is produced on the Prunotto estate owned by the Marchesi Antinori, located in the heart of the Langhe DOC, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand in the first days of October. Fermentation occurs, with maceration, at a maximum temperature of 29°C for 10 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 12 months in barrels of various sizes and for another 4 months in the bottle before being released onto the market.
The Occhetti has a ruby red color tending towards garnet. The nose opens with elegant hints of raspberries and roses, enriched by notes of licorice. On the palate, it is full, soft, and harmonious, with a long aftertaste.
Perfect to accompany warm appetizers, first courses, and meat dishes.
