Vinification of Prunotto Pian Romualdo Barbera d'Alba The basis for the powerful Pian Romualdo Barbera d'Alba from Piedmont is grapes of the Barbera variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here the vines sink their roots deep into soils of limestone and marl. Pian Romualdo Barbera d'Alba is a thoroughbred Old World wine, as this Italian exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. A considerable influence on the ripeness of the harvest is also exerted by the fact that the Barbera grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. The berries for this red wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand at optimal ripeness. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small and large wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by 16 months of aging in French barriques. The maturation in wooden casks is followed by a substantial bottle aging, which makes this red wine even more complex.
