Antinori Barbera d'Alba Pian Romualdo, Prunotto

Complex nose with hints of liquorice and blackberry. Full and velvety with a long, elegant finish.

Prunotto was founded as a cooperative (“Ai Vini delle Langhe”) in 1904, and after WWI, one of its members, Alfredo Prunotto, took over. On retirement, he sold the company to the Colla brothers who were the first to map out single vineyards in the Langhe area, releasing Barbera Pian Romualdo and Barolo Bussia in 1961. Antinori got involved in 1989, starting a plan of vineyard acquisition in the heart of various appellations.

Pian Romualdo was first produced in 1961 from Prunotto’s vineyards located in the Monforte D’Alba area. Barbera vines grown here benefit greatly from temperature fluctuation between day and night, allowing Pian Romualdo to develop pronounced freshness, characteristic aromas and an excellent ageing potential.
