The Centenario bottling by Prunotto is a tribute to over a century of winemaking excellence in Piedmont, tracing its roots back to the founding of the 'Ai Vini delle Langhe' cooperative in 1904, which was later acquired and revitalized by Alfredo Prunotto in 1923. This exceptional red wine is crafted from Nebbiolo, the noble grape of the region, grown in the prestigious clay-limestone soils of the Langhe hills. Utilizing traditional long maceration and aging in large oak casks, this wine captures the essence of classic Piedmontese winemaking. It delivers a complex bouquet of dried roses, dark red fruits, licorice, and earthy undertones, backed by the firm structure and vibrant acidity characteristic of the region's finest terroirs.

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.
