Descrizione

Prunotto's Barbera d'Alba DOC shows a lively ruby color with violet highlights, true to the Barbera grape. On the nose it releases aromas of ripe red fruit, cherry and plum, accompanied by subtle spicy and undergrowth notes that add complexity without overwhelming. On the palate it offers a sapid structure and fresh acidity, elements that provide drinkability and pleasure; the tannins are smooth and well integrated, supporting a balanced, moderately full-bodied profile.

Suitable for convivial occasions and everyday meals, it pairs naturally with red meat dishes, braised game, pasta with ragù and medium-aged cheeses. It also works as a table wine for Mediterranean classics and informal dinners with friends. Serve at a moderate temperature, around 16–18°C, to appreciate its aromas and freshness; brief aeration can help open the bouquet. A versatile choice for those seeking a Barbera d'Alba with character yet accessible.

Winery history

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 recognitions

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.
