Description
What kind of wine it is
Prunotto Mosesco is a still red wine from Piedmont that expresses the authentic identity of the Dolcetto grape variety. To the eye, it displays a ruby red colour enriched with intense purple highlights. The bouquet is fresh and vinous, characterised by notes of violet and cherry accompanied by delicate nuances of pear, peach and a light boisé touch. On the palate, it offers a dynamic sip, showing a full and balanced structure that finishes with a distinctive almondy aftertaste, ideal for pairing with classic ravioli del plin, white and red meats or cheese boards.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the Mosesco vineyard in Rodello, in the heart of the Langhe, including selected plots between Barbaresco, Treiso and Monforte. Prunotto enhances a renowned area, defined by mixed sandy and clay soils. This geological composition, originating from strong marine currents dating back to the Miocene era, gives the grapes pronounced aromatic freshness and great complexity. These environmental elements define the wine’s profile within the renowned Dolcetto d’Alba area, ensuring a balanced flavour profile and remarkable persistence.
How it is produced
After destemming and crushing the grapes, fermentation in stainless steel begins, lasting six days at controlled temperatures. The subsequent malolactic fermentation is completed before winter, rounding out the structural profile. Maturation continues for about six months in large French oak barrels, ensuring a harmonious and gradual development of aromas. A further final ageing of four months consolidates the flavour balance, defining the wine’s dynamic character and elegant breadth on the palate.
