On the palate, it displays a fruity profile, supported by the \u003cstrong\u003elively acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of the variety and \u003cstrong\u003epolished tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. Primary notes of cherry and blackberry blend with elegant hints of violet, cocoa and liquorice. The balanced structure leads to a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e enriched by fine mineral notes, making it ideal for pairing with braised meats, rich ragù and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003eBansella vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e located in the Nizza Monferrato area, a region historically renowned for Barbera cultivation. The soils are characterised by a composition of limestone and sand, interwoven with veins of marl, clay and silt, which impart freshness and a distinct \u003cstrong\u003earomatic identity\u003c\/strong\u003e to the glass. The climate, moderated by Alpine influences, encourages the \u003cstrong\u003efull ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes while preserving the natural acidity of the berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, the bunches are destemmed and gently crushed. Maceration takes place over six days at a controlled temperature, precisely extracting colour and aromatic components. Once fermentation is complete, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003esmall French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of first, second and third use. This targeted ageing consolidates a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and softens the palate, enriching it with delicate spicy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prunotto winery was acquired in 1989 by the renowned Antinori family. A distinctive feature of this product is that it originates from a single vineyard of the same name, Bansella. Furthermore, an interesting fact concerns the native grape variety used for its production: in Piedmont, it is commonly referred to in the feminine form, traditionally called ‘la Barbera’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prunotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46460326936747,"sku":"61218","price":177.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/prunotto-nizza-bansella-2023_61218_1_8b29ba5f-4215-4f75-9f1e-b91552357e5f.webp?v=1777047766","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-hk\/products\/prunotto-nizza-bansella-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
