Description
What kind of wine it is
Fiulot by Prunotto is a still red wine from Piedmont, made exclusively from Barbera grapes, an authentic expression of Barbera d’Asti. It displays a lively ruby red colour, which precedes intense aromas of plum and cherry. On the palate, it reveals a pleasant freshness, supported by soft tannins and an elegant body that provides great balance. The finish is clean, characterised by a distinct cherry aftertaste, defining a lively and immediately enjoyable sip.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Piedmont, in the heart of Monferrato Astigiano, from vineyards cultivated in the municipality of Agliano d’Asti. The grapes come from the Bansella and Costamiòle vineyards, located in the renowned Nizza area. The presence of clay soils, particularly rich in calcareous marl, is a decisive factor in enhancing the qualities of the grape variety. This specific geological combination gives the wine its typical fruity expression and a pronounced aromatic immediacy. Prunotto tends these plots to offer a faithful interpretation of Barbera d’Asti.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with the destemming and crushing of the Barbera grapes. The maceration on the skins lasts between five and seven days at a controlled temperature, encouraging a delicate aromatic extraction. After racking, the must completes both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. Ageing takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and integrity of the grape variety. The result is a harmonious red, ideal for enhancing meats, cheeses and the flavourful specialities of Piedmontese cuisine.
