PRUNOTTO
Prunotto is in the heart of Barolo country in a small picturesque village, Bussia Soprana. The rich history of the Prunotto estate dates back to 1904, when the wine growers’ cooperative “Ai vini delle Langhe” was established in the council chamber of Serralunga before the notary public Giacomo Oddero and the young witness Alfredo Prunotto. The first harvest took place in 1905, making the Prunotto winery one of the oldest and most traditional in the area.
