## About

Prunotto began in 1904 as the cooperative Ai Vini delle Langhe and took its name from Alfredo Prunotto, who ran it before passing it to Beppe Colla in 1956. The Antinori family has worked with the house since 1989. Production is based in Alba, while visitors are received at the Cantina di Bussia in Bussia Soprana, near Monforte d'Alba. The estate farms small parcels and single vineyards across the Langhe and Monferrato, from Barolo and Barbaresco crus to Barbera in the Nizza zone. Vigna Colonnello and the amphitheatre vineyard of Bussia, where the first Barolo Bussia was made in 1961, are vinified in large oak barrels. The range also includes Dolcetto, Moscato d'Asti, Arveja and a Nebbiolo rosato.
