Prunotto Barbera d'Asti Fiulot is a red wine from Piedmont, Italy, made entirely from Barbera. It is aged in stainless steel and bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml bottle.

Grapes are destemmed, crushed and macerated on skins for five to seven days at up to 28°C, with fermentation completed before winter and bottling in spring. The nose shows ripe plum, crushed dark cherry, blueberry, blackberry, sweet spice and dried flowers. The palate is juicy with dark cherry and blueberry, bright acidity, soft tannins, burnt orange peel and clove. The finish is medium, clean and refreshing with cherry and citrus peel.
