✨ Technical Specifications
Prunotto's Secondine is a distinguished expression of Barbaresco DOCG, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the historical Secondine cru, situated in the heart of the Barbaresco commune. This amphitheater-shaped vineyard, lying close to the Tanaro River, benefits from a unique microclimate and soils rich in clay, silt, and sand. The historic Prunotto estate, which began as a cooperative in 1904 before being revitalized by Alfredo Prunotto and later championed by the Antinori family, focuses on capturing the elegant, ethereal side of Nebbiolo. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in traditional oak casks, Secondine is celebrated for its refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and complex aromas of wild berries, rose petals, and white pepper.
🍾 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.
