Together, the three vineyards create a Barolo that is both beautifully composed and full of energy—serious, precise and remarkably graceful.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE GRAPE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Nebbiolo from Cristina Prandi’s historic vineyard holdings around Barolo and La Morra, including the precious Paiagallo area. The Paiagallo area is highly precious because its unique marl-and-sand terroir produces some of the most elegantly structured, aromatically intense, and rare cult wines in the entire Barolo region.\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-18bc443b-7fff-8160-2742-f414504289bb\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe vines range from 40 to 60 years old, giving the wine both concentration and the beautiful aromatic lift that makes Nebbiolo so addictive.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the bottle where Cristina’s story gets serious. A traditional field blend from three sites, \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaiagallo\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the commune of Barolo, gives the wine its richer, more powerful fruit and structural depth; \u003cstrong\u003eTerlo\u003c\/strong\u003e adds generosity and further concentration; while \u003cstrong\u003eBricco Cogni\u003c\/strong\u003e, high in the hills of La Morra, brings vibrant acidity, lifted perfume and refined, silky tannins. M\u003c\/span\u003eacerated for around 45 days, it opens slowly with roses, red and dark cherries, wild herbs, liquorice and a touch of earthy spice. The palate has clarity and depth: fine but persistent tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish that keeps unfolding after the glass is empty. Only around 1,000 bottles were produced, making this a Barolo for curious collectors rather than supermarket shelves.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrasato al Barolo, truffle tajarin, roast game, beef cheek, porcini and mature Castelmagno.

Born into a historic Barolo wine family, she began working alongside her uncle Giuseppe in 2015 before launching her own label in 2019. Her wines carry the weight of tradition, but there is nothing dusty about them: they are precise, alive and unmistakably hers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cristina Prandi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57477040669047,"sku":null,"price":87.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/Prandi-Barolo-shopify_0caf7435-0e93-4e13-831e-5d57ba339574.png?v=1789986581","url":"https:\/\/shop.passionevino.co.uk\/products\/cristina-prandi-barolo-docg","provider":"Passione Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
