THE WINERY – 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.

CANNUBI BAROLO

The oldest bottle of the Langhe bears the inscription “Cannubi 1752”, this precious relic shows how this cru was already famous even before the advent of Barolo, the prestige of the Cannubi has never known disgrace, indeed it has always served to give luster to the wineries that bought the grapes or even better owned small plots.

The last vintage produced by the Prunotto winery was in 1996, an amazing, impressive, complex wine. Not just a bottle but a great experience.
