More questions
The Mosesco Dolcetto d’Alba DOC from Prunotto offers an honest expression of the grape: vivid ruby color with violet highlights. On the nose it opens with notes of fresh red fruit, cherry and plum, together with more restrained almond nuances and a floral hint. On the palate it shows a lean structure, soft tannins and lively acidity that keeps the sip clean and pleasant, without excess. The finish is straightforward, with good fruity persistence and a balance that favors freshness.
It is a wine for early enjoyment, suitable to accompany everyday dishes such as cold cuts, simple pastas and light white or red meats. It also pairs well with fresh cheeses and regional preparations like pasta with sauce or savory tarts; it stands up to Mediterranean flavors that are not overly spiced. Serve cool, around 14–16 °C, preferably in a wide glass to enhance the aromas. With this Dolcetto Prunotto offers an accessible label: intended for immediate consumption but it can also hold for a few years if stored in proper conditions. Suitable for informal meals but also for a substantial aperitif.

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.
