Prunotto
プルノット
A historic Piedmontese icon blending Colla-era craft with Antinori's prestige.
Founded in 1904 in Alba by Alfredo Prunotto, the estate built an international reputation as one of the defining names of Piedmontese wine, prized for its meticulous approach to terroir. In 1956 Alfredo retired and passed the winery to winemaker Beppe Colla, who over nearly four decades pioneered single-vineyard crus such as Barolo Bussia and Barbera d'Alba Pian Romualdo, helping to establish the modern cru movement in the Langhe. The Antinori family began a distribution partnership with Prunotto in 1989, and in 1994, when Beppe and his brother Tino Colla retired to found their own estate, Poderi Colla, Antinori took over Prunotto's production entirely. Today the estate crafts Barolo, Barbaresco, and other wines from the Langhe and Roero, combining Prunotto's historic terroir knowledge with Antinori's resources and precision.
