Prunotto Barbera d'Asti Fiulot 2023
Prunotto Barbera d'Asti Fiulot is an intense, vibrant ruby red colour. Notes of plums and cherries on the nose, with a fragrant palate.
Harvested grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins took place over a period of 5 to 7 days at a temperature not exceeding 28°C. The wine was racked and completed both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation before the winter season. The wine was aged in stainless steel vats before being bottled in spring.

Alfredo Prunotto founded his business in 1922, and was one of Piemonte’s most dynamic exporters until his retirement in 1956. The company passed then to Prunotto’s friend Beppe Colla, now a revered winemaker and one of the founding fathers of modern Piemonte. The quality of the top wines goes without saying, but the rest of the range is made with equal aplomb. The style is modern without being exaggerated: freshness of aroma and approachability of structure are viewed as positives, but copious new oak is not. Indeed, the only wines that see the inside of a brand new barrique are the outstanding single vineyard Barberas.
