Steeped in the rich winemaking history of Piedmont, Prunotto has been a standard-bearer of quality since Alfredo Prunotto took over the social cellar of Alba in 1923. The Romualdo bottling is a tribute to this legacy, capturing the vibrant soul of the Barbera grape grown in the prestigious Asti hills. Here, the unique terroir of calcareous clay and marine sands imparts a distinct elegance and mineral complexity to the grape. Prunotto crafts Romualdo with a deep respect for tradition, utilizing careful temperature-controlled fermentation followed by aging in oak casks to soften Barbera's naturally bright acidity. The result is a beautifully structured red wine that weaves together intense aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries with warm undertones of cocoa, tobacco, and sweet wood spices, embodying the rustic yet refined spirit of Piedmontese hillsides.

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.
