Prunotto Barolo 2015

PRUNOTTO

Alfredo Prunotto founded his business in 1922 and was one of Piemonte’s most dynamic exporters until his retirement in 1956. The company passed then to Prunotto’s friend Beppe Colla, now a revered winemaker and one of the founding fathers of modern Piemonte. His defining moment was the decision in 1961 to bottle single vineyard (or Cru) wines from the finest sites – a practice that is now the norm in the region. Those wines were made from bought-in grapes, but in the 1990s the current owners (the Antinori’s of Tuscany), extended the Prunotto holdings including plots in the outstanding Bric Turot and Bussia vineyards.

Today, the estate totals 50 hectares of vineyards in the best wine-producing areas of the Piemonte and has a wine-producing facility equipped with the most modern technology available, making Prunotto one of the most important winemaking estates in the Piedmont region.

BAROLO DOCG

Harvest and Vinification

Grapes were carefully selected, destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins lasted for approximately 10 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 the wine to develop great balance.

Historical Data

A traditional Barolo, one of Prunotto’s historic labels, whose first vintage was produced in 1905 from the best grapes of the vineyards in the heart of the Barolo appellation. Aging takes place in large oak barrels of various sizes, further enhancing the extraordinary typicity of Nebbiolo in this region.

Tasting Notes

  • Prunotto’s Barolo is garnet red in color.
  • The nose is complex and generous with pleasing aromas of rose petals, red fruit and spicy notes.
  • The palate is full, well-balanced with velvety tannins
