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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1923 when Alfredo Prunotto acquired the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe,' the Prunotto winery is situated in Alba, in the heart of Italy's Piedmont region. Under the stewardship of the Antinori family since 1989, the estate has consistently championed the diverse terroirs of the Langhe and Monferrato hills. Prunotto balances traditional Piedmontese winemaking practices, such as aging in large oak casks, with modern precision to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines. The winery is celebrated for its exceptional single-vineyard expressions, including the Barolo Bussia and Barbaresco Bric Turot, alongside classic regional styles like Nebbiolo d'Alba Occhetti and Roero Arneis.
