Hailing from the rolling hills of Asti in Italy's prestigious Piedmont region, Prunotto's 'Fiulot' is a vibrant celebration of the Barbera grape. The name 'Fiulot' translates to 'young man' or 'boy' in the local Piedmontese dialect—a fitting moniker for a wine defined by its youthful, energetic, and approachable character. Prunotto, a historic estate with roots dating back to the early 20th century and now under the stewardship of the Antinori family, crafts this Barbera d'Asti to showcase the pure, unadorned essence of the varietal. Grown in soils rich in clay and sand, the grapes benefit from a microclimate that coaxes out intense aromatic complexity. To preserve its bright primary fruit profile, the wine undergoes fermentation and brief aging entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact. This meticulous process yields a ruby-red wine bursting with red cherry, plum, and subtle floral notes, balanced by the grape's signature lively acidity.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1923 when Alfredo Prunotto acquired the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe,' the Prunotto winery is situated in Alba, in the heart of Italy's Piedmont region. Under the stewardship of the Antinori family since 1989, the estate has consistently championed the diverse terroirs of the Langhe and Monferrato hills. Prunotto balances traditional Piedmontese winemaking practices, such as aging in large oak casks, with modern precision to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines. The winery is celebrated for its exceptional single-vineyard expressions, including the Barolo Bussia and Barbaresco Bric Turot, alongside classic regional styles like Nebbiolo d'Alba Occhetti and Roero Arneis.
