    The Prunotto vineyard stretches across the sunny slopes of Piedmont, primarily in the Barolo region. The clay-limestone soils, rich in minerals, impart exceptional structure and complexity to the grapes. The geographical location, with its variations in altitude and exposure, allows the vines to benefit from an ideal microclimate. Sustainable farming practices are favored to respect the natural balance of the ecosystem. Hand-harvesting ensures rigorous selection of the grape bunches, contributing to the final quality of the wines.

    Owner and history

    Today, the domaine Prunotto is managed by the Marchesi group Antinori, who has managed to preserve the heritage and tradition of domaine while contributing their expertise. The current owners continue to invest in the vineyards and improve winemaking techniques to guarantee the quality of the wines. Their commitment to the environment and sustainability is reflected in every bottle, making Prunotto a respected and admired player in the wine world. The owners' passion for excellence translates into wines that tell the story of Piedmont in every sip.

    Vinification and aging

    The vinification of the 2018 Barolo Prunotto Bussia is carried out with care and precision. The grapes are destemmed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks, allowing for a gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. The extended maceration promotes the development of aromatic richness. Aging, which takes place in Slavonian oak barrels, lasts approximately 24 months, imparting subtle woody notes without masking the fruit. This carefully controlled aging method reveals the full complexity of the terroir while ensuring a perfect balance between power and finesse.
