The 2010 Barbera d’Asti Fiulot shows lovely fleshiness in its raspberry jam, tar and scorched earth. There is terrific intensity and texture in the glass for an entry-level wine. This is a fabulous showing. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
This is an impressive set of wines from Prunotto. From top to bottom, every wine in this lineup is well worth considering. It would be nice to see Prunotto take their outstanding Baroli and Barbareschi to the next level. Given the quality of their vineyards and the significant resources of the Antinori family these should be truly profound wines.
