Description
Prunotto Barbera d'Asti 2023 is a vivid and varietally pure expression of Barbera from the rolling hills of Asti in Piedmont, showcasing the estate's precision and commitment to terroir. Made from 100% Barbera grown on chalk and clay-rich slopes, the fruit was hand-harvested between mid-September and mid-October under favourable warm, dry conditions followed by late-season rains that ensured balanced ripening. After destemming, the must was fermented at controlled temperatures with 5 to 7 days of skin contact to extract colour and fruit purity, followed by full malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel to preserve vibrancy. Bottled at 12.5% ABV, the wine pours a bright ruby with violet reflections and opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and plum alongside floral notes of violet and a hint of red liquorice. The palate is fresh, juicy and medium-bodied, driven by Barbera’s hallmark acidity and soft tannins, carrying ripe red fruit and subtle spice to a clean, moreish finish. Best enjoyed over the next 3 to 5 years, it pairs beautifully with tomato-based pasta, charcuterie, grilled meats and semi-hard cheeses.
