Prunotto | Antinori

The grapes for the savoury Fiulòt come from selected hillside parcels of Astigiano. Harvested and processed parcel by parcel, the must ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel; ageing on the fine lees in tanks preserves freshness, precision and varietal purity – in the spirit of an animating Barbera style. Bright ruby red in colour with a violet hue. Clear, ripe cherry and plum fruit, redcurrant, violets and a fine hint of liquorice on the nose. Juicy and straightforward on the palate: lively, well-integrated acidity, soft, fine-grained tannins and a smooth texture with a good drinking flow. The stainless steel ageing keeps the fruit crystal clear and the finish fresh. A charming, very varietal Barbera d'Asti that brings origin and elegance to the glass in an uncomplicated way – ideal with traditional cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes come from selected hillside parcels in Astigiano. Gently pressed, cool-fermented and matured in pressurised tanks, the wine is bottled early to preserve its freshness, varietal purity and fine, natural residual sweetness; the gentle perlage style remains deliberately light. Bright, radiant straw yellow in colour with a delicate, persistent perlage. Fragrant aromas on the nose: orange blossom and white flowers, plus peach and a hint of sage. Sweet on the palate, but light as a feather: juicy stone fruit, fine mousse and a lively, citric acidity keep the balance perfectly. The finish is clear, cool and aromatic, with a slight salty tang. An elegant, pure Moscato d'Asti – lively, fragrant and precise at the same time, ideal as an aperitif or with fine pastries and fruit desserts. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes come from selected hillside parcels around Alba. After careful manual harvesting, they are carefully destemmed, fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel and briefly macerated; subsequent storage on fine lees in tanks preserves freshness, varietal purity and the typical drinkability. Bright ruby red in colour with a violet hue. Red cherry and blackberry on the nose, along with violets, a hint of plum and the delicate bitter almond note that makes Dolcetto so charming. Juicy and straightforward on the palate: pure fruit, moderately lively acidity and fine-grained, soft tannins; a cool, slightly mineral flavour keeps the final clear and animating. A classic, light-hearted Dolcetto in the best sense of the word – aromatically precise, accessible and versatile. SUPERIORE.DE

White postcard from the Langhe: gentle hills, morning breezes – and Arneis in its purest form. Arveja comes from selected, higher-lying parcels around Alba; the harvest is cool and selective, and the ageing is deliberately focussed on freshness and clarity. Pale straw yellow in the glass with a greenish tinge. Open bouquet of white flowers, green apple skin, juicy pear with a hint of citrus zest, underneath a fine, stony-mineral tone. Straightforward, juicy on the palate, with lively acidity and a delicate creaminess in the flow. The fruit remains cool and precise, with a small almondy accent for a Piedmontese wink. The final is long and salty-fresh. An uncomplicated, elegant Arneis with a confident drinking pleasure – perfect as an aperitif, with antipasti, vitello tonnato or simply with a good piece of grilled trout. SUPERIORE.DE

Historic Occhetti cru site: layers of sand close to the surface with stratified gravel layers as well as clay and limestone veins characterise the fine tannin structure and elegance. Bright ruby red in colour with a fine garnet hue. Fragrant Nebbiolo signature on the nose: violets and roses, red berries (raspberry, cherry), a hint of liquorice and cool stone minerality. Delicate and precise on the palate: Medium body, lively, clearly defined acidity, very fine-grained, voluminous tannins, the flow remains silky and straightforward, the finish is spicy-mineral and persistent. A classic, elegant Langhe Nebbiolo that shows the filigree side of the variety – transparent, animating to drink and with a lovely calm texture. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes come from high slopes near Monforte d'Alba from the historic Pian Romualdo parcel. Soils characterised by limestone and marl with sandy veins, noticeable day-night amplitudes and strict yield limits provide concentrated, pure harvest. The year 2022 passed without any notable restrictions: a warm, dry summer with reduced yields, followed by beneficial rainfall and cool nights in autumn. This resulted in ripe phenolics, dense fruit and a clear, supporting acidity that high-altitude sites preserve particularly well.

Prunotto's Barolo is a very beautiful, ethereal wine. Rose petals, spices, blood orange, mint and crushed red berry fruit keep it firmly grounded. On the palate, it is saturated and rich with dark flavours that are firmly connected to spices, liquorice and crushed blue flowers. There is power and richness deep within this wine, the well-proportioned tannin is fresh and firm, giving it energy and drive. SUPERIORE.DE

A historic Barolo from the estate (first produced in 1905!), composed from Nebbiolo parcels in the heart of the appellation. The grapes are selectively harvested by hand, the lots are carefully destemmed and fermented; maceration takes around eight days at moderate temperatures and malolactic fermentation is completed before the onset of winter. The wine then matures for at least 18 months in large oak barrels of various sizes – an ageing process that preserves balance, transparency and expression of origin. The 2021 vintage began with a mild winter and abundant rainfall, which created valuable water reserves. A light frost in mid-April reduced the yields, but without affecting the quality. This was followed by a long, stable summer without heat peaks; scattered thunderstorms in June/July and pronounced day/night amplitudes during the ripening phase ensured a precise harvest from 6 to 15 October. The grapes achieved excellent phenolic ripeness with bright acidity.

From one of the historic plots of the house in Barbaresco: Bric Turot – in dialect "top of a small hill" – lies exposed on soils characterised by limestone and marl with sandy veins. The shape of the hill brings different exposures and thus natural complexity to the harvest. The year 2021 was characterised by long, linear vegetation with clear day-night amplitudes; a calm, golden autumn allowed a late, precise harvest. The result: aromatically dense, healthy grapes with bright acidity and finely ripe tannins.

The grapes come from the historic MGA Bussia in Monforte d'Alba – steep, well-ventilated slopes between 300 and 450 metres, characterised by calcareous marl with clay veins and sandy inclusions. The year 2020 brought a stable summer without extreme peaks, clear nights during the ripening phase and a calm, dry autumn allowed for a late, precise harvest. The result is healthy, fully ripe phenolic grapes with bright fruit and balanced acidity – the ideal basis for a transparent yet powerful Barolo.
