✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious Langhe region of Piedmont, Prunotto's 'Granadie' is a refined expression of Piedmontese rosato, primarily crafted from the region's signature Nebbiolo grape. The historic Prunotto estate, which dates back to the early 20th century and is now guided by the Antinori family, utilizes gentle pressing and brief skin contact to extract a delicate pomegranate-pink hue—a visual nod to its name, which evokes the vibrant seeds of the pomegranate fruit. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright primary aromas, this wine captures the cooler, high-altitude terroir of the Langhe hills, balancing Nebbiolo's natural structure and vibrant acidity with delicate notes of wild strawberries, rose petals, and subtle spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Prunotto traces its origins to 1904 when the cooperative Cantina Sociale 'Ai Vini delle Langhe' was established in Serralunga d'Alba, later rescued and rechristened by Alfredo Prunotto in the 1920s. Under legendary winemaker Beppe Colla from 1956, the estate emerged as a pioneer of single-vineyard bottlings in Piedmont, famously producing the benchmark Barolo Bussia beginning with the 1961 vintage. Owned by Tuscany's Marchesi Antinori family since 1994, Prunotto stewards approximately 65 hectares across prime sites in the Langhe and Monferrato. Viticulture leverages the region's classic mosaic of calcareous clay and Tortonian marl, capturing distinctive diurnal shifts and microclimatic nuance. In the cellar, vinification balances traditional large-format cask maturation with refined contemporary precision. Prunotto's expansive portfolio is anchored by celebrated cru bottlings such as Barolo Bussia Vigna Colonnello Riserva, Barbaresco Bric Turot, and Nizza Riserva Costamiòle, complemented by classical regional expressions of Arneis, Barbera d'Alba, and Moscato d'Asti.
