## Summary

Pian Romualdo, first produced in 1961 from Prunotto's vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, is prized for the freshness and ageing potential that day-night temperature swings bring to this Barbera.

## Tasting notes

Intense ruby red. Complex on the nose, with blackberry, cherry, strawberry and red fruit jam, alongside spicy hints of cinnamon, vanilla and green pepper. Well-balanced and generous on the palate, sustained by characteristic Barbera freshness.
