Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Jeb Dunnuck · 92 Points - Moving on to the last of the Barbaresco from Prunotto, the 2022 Barbaresco Bric Turot exhibits a slightly deeper ruby hue and takes on a more complete feel in the glass, with aromas that are just a bit more nuanced on the nose, featuring notes of grenadine, pressed flowers, fennel, and menthol. The palate is snappy with refreshing, ripe acidity, silky tannins, and its sweetly perfumed fruit lasting on the finish. It's another very well done wine that has the bones to age a bit further perhaps. Drink 2025-2040.
Vinous · 92 Points - The 2022 Barbaresco Bric Turot opens with hints of baking spice, new leather, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and menthol. Aromatic and pliant, with lovely balance, the 2022 is a delight to taste. In this vintage, the Bric Turot is quite open and accessible, even in the early going. I would not wait too long, given the wine's mid-weight structure.
Wine Spectator · 92 Points - A fruity version, boasting strawberry, cherry and rose flavors, plus a hint of tar. Elegant and juicy, this lingers nicely on the lightly chalky finish. Supple and inviting.
James Suckling · 90 Points - A restrained style with watermelon fruit, ripe red cherries and a not-too-deep whiff of balsamic. Medium- to full-bodied, this has slightly candied flavor and light-framed yet grainy tannins allied to moderate acidity.
Winemaker Notes
Bric Turot is an intense ruby red color, lively and luminous. On the nose, aromas of wild berries meet notes of white pepper, licorice and aromatic herbs in particular pine, white mint, and laurel. The palate is velvety, harmonious, elegant, and defined by a lengthy persistent finish.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve slightly cool and allow time in the glass. Consider roast lamb, braised beef, mushroom risotto, or aged cheese.
