The property

Prunotto is located on an estate that carries a tradition of viticulture, culture, history and tradition. The wines vinified by this Italian estate possess the typical aromas of the grapes grown in these hills. The various vineyards of the Antinori - Prunotto Estate extend into the best agricultural areas of Piedmont. The property uses all the necessary modern technology to produce high-quality Piedmont wines.

The vineyard

The 50 hectares of the property are located in Alba, equidistant from Barbaresco and Barolo. This must-see reference among the wines of Piedmont is established on a magnificent smooth and colorful plain in the Langhe and Roero region.

The vintage

The 2021 vintage was marked by a mild winter but rich in precipitation, ensuring an excellent water reserve. The few spring frosts reduce yields without impacting the final quality of the grapes. A sunny summer, without excessive heat, and ideal thermal amplitudes during the harvest allowed for grapes of optimal maturity and a remarkable balance between sugar, freshness and polyphenols. The harvest took place from September 25 to October 11.

Vinification and aging

Destemming and crushing before a maceration of about 10 days. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aging for 12 months in oak barrels followed by additional aging in bottles for one year before marketing. 

Blend

Nebbiolo (100%).
