The 2024 Prunotto Barbera d’Alba DOC is a vibrant and classic expression of Barbera from Piedmont, crafted by the renowned Prunotto estate (Antinori family) with a focus on purity and freshness. Made from 100% Barbera and aged primarily in stainless steel, it highlights the grape’s natural character without heavy oak influence. The nose is bright and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry and ripe plum, layered with floral notes and a touch of spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and a juicy core of red fruit, supported by soft tannins and a smooth, harmonious texture. The finish is fresh, clean and easy-drinking, with a subtle savoury edge and good persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark everyday Barbera—fresh, food-friendly and highly versatile. Ideal for customers who enjoy vibrant reds with bright acidity and soft structure. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with pasta, pizza, grilled meats or casual Italian dining.
