✨ wine.spec_sheet
Prunotto's Pian Romualdo is a benchmark Barbera d'Alba Superiore, originating from the prestigious estate founded by Alfredo Prunotto in the early 20th century and now nurtured under the stewardship of the Antinori family. The wine takes its name from the historic Pian Romualdo vineyard located in Monforte d'Alba, a site renowned for its high altitude and calcium-rich clay and sand soils. This unique terroir imparts exceptional structure and a vibrant, refreshing acidity to the Barbera grape. Traditionally aged for approximately 12 months in a combination of large oak casks and smaller barrels, this red wine showcases a deep ruby color with violet hues, expressing intense aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of spices and cocoa, embodying the perfect harmony between rustic Piedmontese tradition and modern elegance.
🍾 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.
