✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 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.
