Prunotto Roero Arneis DOCG

Alfredo Prunotto was a well-known winemaker who worked at many prestigious vineyards in Italy. He founded his first plant, "Wines of Langhe," in 1904, which operated until 1922. In 1923, Prunotto decided to establish the Prunotto company, which, by signing contracts for the purchase of the best wine materials in Piedmont, specialized in the production and bottling of the highest quality wines. Prunotto quickly became well-known and began exporting wine worldwide: to Europe, South America, and then to the United States. After 1990, when the Prunotto winery came into the possession of the famous Antinori family, it was decided to produce wines, whose volume at that time had reached 800,000 bottles per year, from their own grapes. For this purpose, additional vineyards were acquired, equipment was updated, and cellars were reconstructed. In 2000, the old 100-hectoliter oak barrels were completely replaced with 50- and 75-hectoliter barrels, which are better suited for revealing the potential of the wines. The bottling line was updated with machines using advanced technology that protects the wine from possible oxidation, which is detrimental at this stage. An improved machine was also installed to ensure the compression of the bottle cork and provide maximum sealing reliability.
