Producer InformationPrunotto is a wine producer based in Langhe, in northern Italy. It makes a range of wines from some of the region's most famous DOC and DOCG appellations, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba and Moscato d'Asti. The estate has its origins in 1923 when Alfredo Prunotto acquired a cooperative winery in Alba called Ai Vini delle Langhe. Prunotto did not initially own any of his own vineyards – he purchased and vinified grapes from around Piedmont instead. Now, the Prunotto estate consists of 65 hectares (160 acres) of estate vineyards, including land in several of the Barolo crus, the most famous of which is Vigna Colonnello in the Bussia sub-region. This vineyard, located in a natural amphitheater with mixed soils of clay, tufa and sand, is perfect for the Nebbiolo grapes that grow here. The single-vineyard wine produced from here is Prunello's flagship.
