In 1904 a co-operative winery called Ai Vino Delle Langhe was founded, and a young man who worked there was one Alfred Prunotto. Prunotto took over the estate in 1922, giving it his own name and today it is run under the umbrella of the famous Marchesi Antinori family. Located in Alba the estate tends around 50 hectares of vineyards throughout the Langhe and Monferrato and produces a range of fine wines from the heady Moscato d'Alba to delicious Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo. A the top end lie a range of single cru wines from Barolo, Barbaresco and the DOC's of Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba and Barbera d'Asti. Classic Piedmont wines produced with style by the Antinori family.

Barbera wines, stemming from Italy's Piedmont region, stand out for their vibrant personality and food-friendly charm. Characterized by their rich fruit flavors, notably ripe cherry, blackberry, and plum, Barbera wines boast a refreshing acidity that invigorates the palate. This acidity, coupled with soft tannins, gives Barbera wines a smooth and approachable texture, making them enjoyable on their own or paired with a variety of dishes. What truly sets Barbera apart is its versatility in food pairing; it harmonizes beautifully with classic Italian fare like pasta and pizza, as well as with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and spicy cuisine from around the world. This adaptability makes Barbera a go-to choice for both casual weeknight dinners and special occasions, appealing to wine enthusiasts seeking a balance of quality and accessibility in their glass.

While Barbera wines are often enjoyed in their youth for their vibrant fruitiness, some expressions offer aging potential, evolving into more complex and nuanced wines over time. With age, Barbera wines can develop intriguing secondary characteristics such as dried fruit, leather, and tobacco, while retaining their hallmark acidity and fruit-forward profile. This aging potential adds another layer of intrigue to Barbera, appealing to collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the evolution of wine in the bottle. Whether enjoyed young or aged, Barbera wines consistently deliver a delightful drinking experience, showcasing the best of Piedmont's winemaking tradition and terroir.
