Dolcetto d'Alba 'Mosesco' Prunotto 2023
"Mosesco" is a Dolcetto D'Alba produced in the Langhe that spends its aging period exclusively in steel tanks, to preserve the varietal aromas. It features strong winey notes, accompanied by notes of plum and sour cherry jam, with some herbaceous and wet earth notes, alongside a slight spiciness. Very warm on the palate, enveloping and soft, it has a good fresh backbone balanced by pleasant savoriness.
The Dolcetto d’Alba “Mosesco” from the Prunotto winery is a immediate and easy-drinking red wine produced in Alba, in Piemonte. This label is made from pure Dolcetto grapes, an indigenous red-skinned variety from the area, sourced from a single vineyard, “Mosesco”, located on hills at about 500 meters above sea level in the municipality of Rodello. The vines are trained using the trellis method with Guyot pruning on soils characterized by clay with some sandy veins. The winery, founded in the early post-war period, is one of the most significant realities in the Piemonte wine production landscape and has been part of the Antinori group since the 1980s, which has invested heavily in research and experimentation to enable the production of each individual wine, respecting its characteristics and enhancing its best potential.
The “Mosesco” Dolcetto d’Alba by Prunotto is produced with carefully selected grapes harvested by hand at the moment of their perfect ripeness. The bunches are brought to the winery for destemming and soft pressing before undergoing alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 27-28 °C, with frequent daily pump-overs and a maceration on the skins of about 9 days. Subsequently, the wine is racked with pressing, after which, once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine remains in aging for at least 6 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 75 hectoliters before being bottled and undergoing further maturation in bottle for 4 months before being released for sale.
The “Mosesco” Prunotto presents itself visually with a bright ruby red color with slight purple reflections. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe fruit emerge, including cherry, sour cherry, plum, and blackberry, floral notes of violet and other red flowers, herbaceous and slightly spicy hints of pepper. On the palate, it is full, warm, soft, and enveloping, characterized by a pleasant freshness, at times savory, and a slightly almond finish. This wine from the Antinori winery is a dynamic and balanced red, of good substance and suitable for a variety of occasions.
