Prunotto is one of the most famous names in Langa and not only, we are talking about the early twentieth century when Alfredo Prunotto decided to acquire, together with his wife, the Cantina Sociale giving it their name. Thanks to their love for their homeland and to their great passion for their work, the young couple quickly became known all over the world for the quality of their wines. In 1956 Alfredo decides to retire from business and he hands over the winery to his friend, Beppe Colla, who immediately starts buying vineyards in the most suited areas for the production of Barolo and Barbera. At the beginning of the nineties the winery was acquired by the Antinori family and nowadays there are more than 50 hectares of vineyards scattered between Langhe and Monferrato, the estate is growing but the style of making wine does not change, keeping the excellent quality level wanted by Alfredo Prunotto. The work in the cellar is based on constant research and experimentation, with the continuous evaluation of the ways and times for the care of the vineyards and for the production of each wine, respecting its characteristics and enhancing its best potential. Prunotto has invested in the qualitative development of the vineyard by using rootstocks and clones which are best suited to each single plot.
\nBussia, this vineyard was the first to give Prunotto a Cru of Barolo, marked on the label with the vintage 1961, the vines are located in Bussia Sottana, a sheltered valley protected from cold air currents, a favorable microclimate which facilitates the production of excellent wine. The vineyard, located on a Tortonian soil is characterized by the presence of Marne di Sant’Agata Fossili, is exposed to south\/south-west on a soil mainly made of silt, sand and clay. Thanks to the ideal conditions together with the great experience of the winery the result is amazing, a wine of great territorial expressiveness, complex, structured and with a long aging potential. 2006 is an excellent vintage which gives us wines of great structure and excellent balance of all its components. A fantastic bottle to drink now<\/p>\n
