Prunotto

Prunotto is a historic Piedmontese winery that for over a century has embodied the great wines of the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero. Its origins date back to 1904, when in Serralunga the Cantina Sociale "Ai Vini delle Langhe" was founded, with the young Alfredo Prunotto taking part in its establishment; the first harvest was in 1905.

When the cooperative winery went into liquidation, Alfredo Prunotto took it over with his wife Luigina and gave it his own name, exporting Barolo and Barbaresco first to South America and then to the United States. In 1956 the company passed to enologist Beppe Colla, later joined by his brother Tino, who from 1961 began the separate vinification of the crus, such as Barolo Bussia and Barbera d'Alba Pian Romualdo. From 1989 began the collaboration with the Antinori family: Albiera Antinori gave new impetus to the vineyards and since 1994 the Antinori have directly guided production.

The vineyards extend over about 65 hectares between the Langhe and Monferrato, divided into small plots and single vineyards. Among the most important are Bussia, in Monforte d'Alba, where the winery is based, Costamiòle in Agliano for Nizza, and the sites in Calliano dedicated to Albarossa.

The range showcases the many facets of Piedmont: from Barolo Riserva Vigna Colonnello Bussia to Barolo Bussia, Cerretta, Mosconi and Serra; from Barbaresco Bric Turot and Secondine to Langhe Nebbiolo Occhetti; from Barbera d'Alba Pian Romualdo to Dolcetto d'Alba Mosesco; through to Nizza Costamiòle, Bricco Colma from Albarossa, Langhe Arneis Arveja and Moscato d'Asti. The offering is completed by the grappas from Bussia and Costamiòle.

History, outstanding vineyards and a deep respect for the land make Prunotto a benchmark for Barolo and the wines of the Langhe.
