✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious Piedmontese estate of Prunotto, which has been shaping the viticultural landscape of the region since the early 20th century, the Grappa Costamiole is a refined distillate of historical pedigree. It is crafted from the fresh, moisture-rich pomace of Barbera grapes harvested from the acclaimed Costamiole vineyard in Agliano Terme—the very same grapes used to produce Prunotto's iconic Nizza DOCG wine. Distilled using traditional copper alembic stills to preserve the delicate, fruit-forward characteristics of the Barbera grape, the spirit is subsequently aged in oak barriques. This wood maturation bestows a beautiful amber hue and weaves complex layers of toasted hazelnut, vanilla, dark cherry, and sweet spices into the spirit, creating a harmonious bridge between the rustic tradition of Italian grappa and modern artisanal refinement.
🍾 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.
