Pian Romualdo
The wine
First produced in 1961 from Prunotto’s vineyards in Monforte D’Alba. Temperature fluctuations between day and night develop pronounced freshness.
Vinification
Pian Romualdo was first produced in 1961 from Prunotto’s vineyards located in the Monforte D’Alba area. Barbera vines grown here benefit greatly from temperature fluctuation between day and night, allowing Pian Romualdo to develop pronounced freshness, precise aromas and excellent aging potential.
Winemaking
Grapes were destemmed and crushed upon arrival in the cellar. Maceration on the skins lasts for approximately 6-7 days at a temperature of about 29 °C (84 °F). Malolactic fermentation is completed before the onset of winter. The wine is aged for approximately 16 months.
Historical Data

The Antinori family, charmed by such rich natural beauty, unique vineyards and soils, decided to invest time and energy in this terroir to make Prunotto one of the most important winemaking estates in the Piedmont region.
