✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the formidable hills of Serralunga d'Alba in the heart of Piedmont, this Riserva by the historic Prunotto estate represents the pinnacle of traditional Nebbiolo. Founded originally as a cooperative in 1904 before being revitalized by Alfredo Prunotto in 1922, the estate has long been a pioneer in defining single-commune expressions. The soils of Serralunga—dense with limestone, clay, and iron-rich marls from the ancient Helvetian epoch—impart an uncompromising structure, deep tannins, and intense minerality to the wine. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, this Riserva undergoes extended maceration and is aged for a minimum of five years, including significant time in large oak casks. This patient maturation tames the fierce Nebbiolo tannins, revealing a complex tapestry of dried roses, tar, dark cherries, licorice, and forest floor.
🍾 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.
