✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the rolling hills of Piedmont's Langhe region, Prunotto's 'Arveja' is a brilliant expression of modern Piedmontese white winemaking, blending the native Arneis with Sauvignon Blanc. The historic Prunotto estate, which began in 1904 as a cooperative before being revitalized by Alfredo Prunotto and eventually partnered with the Antinori family, has long been a benchmark of quality in Alba. The name 'Arveja' translates to 'pea' in the local Piedmontese dialect, a playful nod to the green, fresh, and vibrant character of the wine. Cultivated in soils rich in clay and sand, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. This meticulous process preserves the delicate floral aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, and citrus, backed by a crisp, mineral-driven backbone that reflects the unique Langhe terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Originally established in 1904 as the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe', the estate was acquired and redefined by visionary winemaker Alfredo Prunotto in 1922, establishing a legacy of excellence in Alba, Piedmont. After decades of pioneering single-vineyard cru bottlings under the Colla family, the historic estate became part of the Marchesi Antinori family in 1989, blending centuries-old Tuscan heritage with classic Piedmontese tradition. Prunotto champions precision viticulture and terroir-focused winemaking across the region's top terroirs, crafting legendary Nebbiolo expressions such as Barolo Bussia and Barbaresco Bric Turot alongside vibrant Barbera d'Asti, Roero Arneis, and fine grappas.
