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.

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.
