✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Prunotto estate—a pioneer in Piedmontese winemaking since the early 20th century—the 'Bric Turot' is a profound expression of a single-vineyard Barbaresco DOCG. Made entirely from Nebbiolo grapes grown on a sun-drenched, south-southwest facing amphitheater in the heart of Barbaresco, the vineyard's complex soils of clay, silt, and active limestone impart both muscular structure and ethereal elegance. Prunotto, which was revitalized under the stewardship of the Antinori family while maintaining its deep Langhe roots, utilizes traditional fermentation followed by careful aging in oak casks to preserve the grape's signature violet, wild berry, and licorice aromas. This wine beautifully captures the tension between the Nebbiolo grape's powerful tannins and its delicate, perfumed aromatics, telling a story of a unique hill shaped by centuries of viticultural passion.
🍾 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.
