Otto is Pra's barrel-aged prestige Soave, named for the year the oldest vines were planted (1908); extensive lees contact in barriques produces a Garganega of remarkable richness, hazelnut-cream complexity and long ageing potential.

What it pairs with

  • Risotto ai funghi porcini
    The wine's hazelnut-cream depth and umami-like weight are a natural match for earthy porcini risotto.
  • Turbot with beurre blanc
    Rich flat fish and butter sauce demand the full-weight Garganega treatment that Otto provides.

History

Otto was created as Pra's top-tier barrel-aged expression from vines planted in 1908 (otto means eight in Italian, referencing 1908). Extended lees contact in French barriques adds complexity while the basalt soils maintain the mineral core.
