{"title":"Prunotto wines","description":"\u003ch2\u003e A century of excellent winemaking, now under Antinori\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAfter facing financial difficulties, Alfredo Prunotto and his wife Luigina took over the cooperative in the 1930s and renamed it Prunotto. Their dedication and passion led to the winery's fame, and Prunotto became one of the early exporters of Barolo and Barbaresco to markets such as South America and the United States. In 1956, Alfredo Prunotto retired and sold the company to his friend and winemaker Beppe Colla, who, together with his brother Tino, continued to identify and vinify single-vineyard crus as Barolo Bussia. In 1994, the Antinori family, who had been involved in distribution since 1989, took over production and maintained the high quality standards established by Alfredo Prunotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Prunotto estate owns approximately 74 hectares (183 acres) of vineyards across the Langhe and Monferrato territories, including prime locations such as Bussia (known for its Tortonian soils ideal for Barolo), Costamiòle (in Agliano for Nizza production) and Bric Turot. Careful and attentive vineyard management is a core value at Prunotto, with a focus on promoting sustainable farming and improving manual techniques. Their winemaking philosophy balances tradition and innovation, using state-of-the-art technology to interpret the nuances of this historic winemaking area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePrunotto produces a range of Barolos, including single vineyard expressions from prestigious crus such as Bussia, Cerretta, Mosconi and Serra. Their Barolo Bussia DOCG comes from the magnificent amphitheater-shaped vineyard in the Bussia area of ​​Monforte d'Alba, which was first produced as a single vineyard wine by Prunotto in 1961. The winemaking for their Barolo Bussia involves maceration on the skins for 8-10 days, followed by aging for at least 18 months with varying caps. This results in a Barolo with an intense ruby ​​red color, a complex nose with notes of red oranges and pink pepper, a full and fruity palate with silky tannins and a persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePrunotto's Barolos consistently receive good reviews from wine critics. Their Barolo DOCG typically earns ratings in the high 80s to low 90s from publications like Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. Their single-vineyard Barolo Bussia has also received similar results, recognized for its lively fruit, silky tannins, and harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A distinctive feature of Prunotto is its long history and evolution from a cooperative to a renowned estate now under the esteemed Antinori family. This transition has allowed Prunotto to maintain its commitment to quality while benefiting from the resources and expertise of one of Italy's most prominent wine families. Prunotto's dedication to both tradition and innovation, together with their first-class vineyards, ensures their continued production of exceptional Barolo that reflects the unique terroir of the Langhe.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2118","title":"Prunotto Barbaresco 1979 Riserva","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrunotto Barbaresco 1979 Riserva is a red wine from Italy, vintage 1979.

It is produced by Prunotto, a historic estate founded in 1904 in Serralunga under the name 'Ai Vini delle Langhe'. The winery took its current name in 1923 when Alfredo Prunotto assumed control. This specific vintage was bottled in the production zone at Cantina S. Cassiano by the winery Alfredo Prunotto of Colla and Filiberti, reflecting the era when Beppe Colla led the estate. Colla, who took over in 1956, was a pioneer in bottling wines from specific parcels, sparking the cru-thinking that became central to the region's winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Barbaresco, a classic Denominazione di Origine Controllata area located in the Langhe hills east of Alba. This area is situated within Piedmont, a prestigious wine region in northwestern Italy bordered by the Alps. Piedmont, which literally translates to 'at the foot of the mountain', is renowned for its steep hills often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long ripening period. The 1979 vintage in this region achieved a score of 88 points and is described as soft and charming. Barbaresco wines are primarily sourced from the municipalities of Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, and are often considered an elegant counterpart to Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNebbiolo, the sole grape used for this wine, is an Italian top variety known for producing elegant wines with great structure. It is deeply tied to the Piedmont region, particularly in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Today, Prunotto operates as the Piedmont base for the large Italian Antinori empire, which acquired the house in 1989 and gained full control in 1994. Based in Alba, the estate continues to produce a wide portfolio of Piedmont wines, maintaining a legacy that has followed the house through more than a century of ownership changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prunotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57370752483654,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1174_484a9455-ca83-4257-ac91-2f8acc1a4554.jpg?v=1789473797"}],"url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/collections\/prunotto-wines.oembed","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
