The Bricco Colma Piemonte Albarossa DOC from Prunotto is a red wine made from Albarossa, presenting a deep ruby color. On the nose it offers a fragrant profile with impressions of ripe red fruit, cherry and plum, accompanied by discreet floral hints and delicate spicy notes. On the palate it shows balanced structure, tannins that are present but not aggressive, and freshness that supports the sip; the finish tends toward fruity returns and a pleasant gustatory persistence.

It pairs with dishes based on red meats and light game, roasts and semi-firm cheeses; it can also suit traditional Piedmontese dishes. It is advisable to serve it at a moderate temperature, around 16–18 °C, and to consider a short decanting for those who prefer more open aromas. It is aimed at those seeking a territorial, agreeable and ready-to-drink red without pretensions of grandeur.

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.
