Prunent
The legendary Prunent is a local wine whose presence in Ossola has been historically proved since 1300. It has very characteristic features which are linked to the territory and the vine. It has a bright color, red with strong orange reflexes. It has an intense and fascinating perfume, full and fairly tannic, harmonious and spicy in its aftertaste. It is suitable for the second dishes with meat and game, and tasty cheese.
- Production area: Grapes partly coming from an ancient vineyard situated in Pello country hamlet
- Vine: 100% Prunent. Given the similarities of this vine with Nebbiolo, it must be considered its clone.
- Production for each hectare: about 50 quintals of grapes
- Return of the grapes into wine: about 60%
- Vinification and refinement: Fermentation in steel basins for about 8 days. It is subsequently preserved in steel containers until the following spring, when it is refined in small French oak barrels where the second fermentation takes place (natural reduction of acidity). The refinement in wood takes place in the ancient cellars of Cà d'Maté (Matteo's House) in Oira di Crevoladossola and it is completed with some months of ageing in the bottle.
