About this winery

In 1923, the renowned wine-maker, Alfredo Prunotto, took over the Cantina Sociale "Vini delle Langhe" in Alba which, right after the First World War, had fallen on difficult times. Thanks to Alfredo and his wife's great passion, the Prunotto winery soon became famous, exporting its wines throughout the world. In 1956, Prunotto retired from business and sold the company to wine-maker and friend Beppe Colla. In 1972, the business grew and moved to the present...

Production notes

Grapes were carefully selected, destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins lasted for approximately 8 days at a maximum temperature of 30° C (86° F). Malolactic fermentation was completed before the end of winter. The wine was aged for at least 18 months in oak barrels of varying capacities, allowing Barolo to develop great balance.

Tasting notes

Prunotto’s Barolo is an intense garnet red color. An elegant and generous nose offers delicate spicy notes together with aromas of flowers and small red fruit. The palate is intense and well-balanced with soft, silky tannins. The finish is rich and persistent.
