More questions
This Barolo DOCG in magnum format, presented in its wooden case, is a Prunotto product intended for those seeking a characterful red wine to share on notable occasions. The color appears deep, with reflections that suggest maturity. On the nose it develops notes of red and dark fruit, intertwined with spicy and mild earthy nuances; the olfactory profile remains complex and restrained, inviting a measured tasting. The body is present, with well-defined tannins and a balanced acidity that indicate a structured yet not aggressive proposition.
It pairs naturally with meat-based dishes, roasts and aged cheeses, but can also accompany more complex preparations thanks to its structure. It is recommended to open the bottle a few hours in advance or to decant to allow aromatic expression; the magnum bottle promotes a slower progression over time. The wooden case also makes the package suitable as a gift or for occasions where presentation matters.

The story
Prunotto was born from the experience of the cooperative 'Ai Vini delle Langhe' and takes its name from Alfredo Prunotto, who assumed its leadership. In the post‑war period, management passed to technical figures such as Beppe Colla, who in the 1960s initiated the practice of separate vinification of crus. From the late 1980s a commercial collaboration and subsequent integration with the Marchesi Antinori family developed; from the 1990s Albiera Antinori contributed to steering the company’s strategy toward the acquisition and enhancement of prestigious vineyards and varietal development.
Production philosophy
The production approach combines respect for local tradition with openness to innovation: careful vineyard management, enhancement of individual crus, and experimentation with grape varieties, to express the territorial character in specific labels.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery operates in the Langhe and Monferrato region, with vineyards and cru sites distributed across the Barolo, Barbaresco, Nizza, Alba and Monferrato areas. Historic sites include Bussia, Bric Turot, Costamiòle, Pian Romualdo, Bricco Colma and other parcels in Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.
Awards and recognition
Individual wines from Prunotto have received recognition in international competitions and rankings; some labels have been awarded medals in competitions such as the International Wine Competition / Rodeo Uncorked.
