✨ Technical Specifications
The history of Prunotto is deeply intertwined with the modern renaissance of Piedmontese winemaking. Founded in 1904 as a cooperative and later revitalized by Alfredo Prunotto in 1922, the estate became a pioneer in bottling single-vineyard crus in the Langhe. Prunotto's red wines, crafted primarily from the region's noble Nebbiolo and vibrant Barbera grapes, reflect the diverse soils of Alba, Asti, and Barolo, ranging from clay-marl to sandy limestone. Utilizing traditional large Slavonian oak casks alongside modern temperature-controlled fermentation, Prunotto strikes a harmonious balance between rustic Piedmontese structure and elegant, fruit-forward purity, capturing the true soul of the Langhe hills.
🍾 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.
