✨ Technical Specifications
Prunotto, a historic estate in Piedmont now managed by the Antinori family, has a legacy dating back to 1904. The Castiglione Faletto Riserva represents the pinnacle of Nebbiolo from the steep, clay-limestone soils of the Castiglione Faletto commune. This terroir is legendary for producing Barolo that strikes a perfect balance between the powerful structure of Serralunga d'Alba and the elegant, perfumed aromatics of La Morra. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, this Riserva undergoes extended maceration and years of patient aging in large oak casks, allowing the fierce Nebbiolo tannins to soften into a complex tapestry of dried roses, tar, leather, and dark cherry.
🍾 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.
