✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious hills of Alba in Piedmont, Prunotto's 'Mosesco' is a classic expression of the Barbera grape, a variety deeply woven into the agricultural folklore of the region. Prunotto, established in the early 20th century by Alfredo Prunotto and later nurtured by the Antinori family, has long been a guardian of Piedmontese winemaking traditions. The Mosesco vineyard benefits from soils rich in clay and sand, which impart a vibrant acidity and intense fruit profile to the grapes. Historically, Barbera was the everyday wine of Piedmontese farmers, celebrated for its rustic charm. Under Prunotto's careful stewardship, Mosesco elevates this grape into an elegant, structured red. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel followed by aging in oak casks, a process that softens Barbera's characteristically bright acidity and integrates subtle notes of spice into the lush dark cherry and plum flavors.
🍾 About the Producer
Originally established in 1904 as the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe', the estate was acquired and redefined by visionary winemaker Alfredo Prunotto in 1922, establishing a legacy of excellence in Alba, Piedmont. After decades of pioneering single-vineyard cru bottlings under the Colla family, the historic estate became part of the Marchesi Antinori family in 1989, blending centuries-old Tuscan heritage with classic Piedmontese tradition. Prunotto champions precision viticulture and terroir-focused winemaking across the region's top terroirs, crafting legendary Nebbiolo expressions such as Barolo Bussia and Barbaresco Bric Turot alongside vibrant Barbera d'Asti, Roero Arneis, and fine grappas.
