PRUNOTTO MOMPERTONE DOC 750 ml

Description

Discover the Prunotto Mompertone DOC, a standout red wine from Italy's Piedmont region. Crafted by the esteemed Prunotto winery, established in 1923 in the heart of Alba, this estate carries a legacy of Piedmontese winemaking excellence. Since joining the Marchesi Antinori family in 1989, Prunotto blends time-honored traditions with forward-thinking techniques, resulting in wines that capture the essence of their origins.

The Mompertone vineyard in Monferrato sets the stage with its unique calcareous clay soils laced with sandy veins, imparting a special personality to every bottle. This 2019 vintage brings together 60% Barbera and 40% Syrah, pouring a deep ruby red color accented by purple highlights that catch the light beautifully.

Lift a glass and let the aromas unfold—ripe cherries mingle with earthy forest floor notes, warm spices, hints of vanilla, and subtle cocoa. It's an inviting bouquet that draws you in, promising more with each swirl. On the tongue, expect a lush, velvety texture that unfolds richly and lingers harmoniously. Supple tannins weave elegance into the structure, while bright acidity keeps everything fresh and lively.

At 14.50% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, Prunotto Mompertone DOC offers remarkable value at $26.99, perfect for both everyday enjoyment and special gatherings. Elevate your meals by pairing it with hearty favorites like orange-glazed leg of lamb, robust three-meat tourtière, aromatic osso buco infused with star anise, or classic spaghetti with meatballs. These combinations allow the wine's depth to shine, balancing bold flavors with its own sophisticated layers.

Whether you're exploring Piedmont reds or seeking a Barbera-Syrah blend with character, this Prunotto gem delivers an authentic Italian experience. Add it to your cart and taste the Monferrato magic yourself—it's the kind of wine that turns a simple dinner into a memorable occasion.
