Prunotto, a renowned Italian winery located in Alba, Piedmont, was founded in 1904 as a co-op and later taken over by Alfredo Prunotto and his wife Luigina in 1922. The winery gained international recognition for its Barolo and Barbaresco wines. In 1956, Alfredo Prunotto sold the company to Beppe Colla, and in 1989, the Antinori family became involved, eventually taking over production in 1994. The winery covers approximately 65 hectares (161 acres) of vineyards in the Langhe and Monferrato regions, focusing on producing high-quality red wines while also crafting white wines and grappa. Prunotto combines tradition with innovation, conducting research and experimentation in the vineyards and cellars to achieve the finest quality wines that express the unique characteristics of the region.

The 2016 Pian Romualdo Barbera d'Alba from Prunotto is a stunning example of the winery's dedication to crafting exceptional wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the Monforte D'Alba terroir. The Barbera grapes, carefully harvested between September 27th and October 1st, thrived under the ideal weather conditions, resulting in a perfect harmony of ripeness and vivacity. After a gentle maceration process and a 12-month aging period, the wine emerges as a captivating red-purple hue with alluring ruby reflections. On the nose, it entices with generous aromas of ripe black fruit and enticing spices, inviting you to explore its depths. The palate is a symphony of fullness and balance, a testament to the wine's pedigree and the skill of the winemakers. With its pronounced freshness, precise aromas, and impressive aging potential, the 2016 Pian Romualdo is a true gem from Prunotto.
