Pian Romualdo was first produced in 1961 from Prunotto's vineyards in the Monforte D’Alba area. Barbera vines grown here greatly benefit from temperature fluctuations between day and night, allowing Pian Romualdo to develop a distinct freshness as well as refined aromas and excellent aging potential. When the Barbera grapes are ripe, which takes a very long time, they are harvested by hand. Each bunch is inspected, and only the best are used in this red wine. After this, it undergoes sixteen months of wood aging. And all of this results in a top wine from the Barbera D'Alba region.
We pour this red wine into a large glass and see an astonishingly beautiful red-purple-like color. It smells of black fruit with herbs and spices. But cedar, toast, and dried plums are also discernible. In the mouth, it surprises us, initially with a fresh onset of black fruit with some notes of cedar. As the wine warms slightly in the mouth, it also reveals impressions of cocoa and some earth. This beautiful red Barbera D'Alba comes from a single vineyard named Pian Romualdo, a unique red wine full of passion and fire.
