✨ Technical Specifications
Prunotto's Pian Romualdo is a benchmark Barbera d'Alba Superiore, sourced from the historic vineyard of the same name in Monforte d'Alba, a site renowned for producing Barbera of exceptional structure and longevity. The estate itself dates back to 1904, when it was founded as a cooperative, later saved and elevated by the visionary Alfredo Prunotto in 1923. The soils here, rich in clay, silt, and manganese, impart a distinct mineral complexity and robust body to the Barbera grape, which has historically been the everyday champion of Piedmontese tables. Aged gracefully in a combination of large oak casks and smaller barrels for approximately 12 months, this wine represents a harmonious bridge between traditional Piedmontese soul and modern refinement, offering vibrant acidity balanced by deep dark fruit and subtle spice.
🍾 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.
