A pinnacle of finesse and depth, dedicated to great moments.

Among the most legendary Barolo lands, the Vigna Colonnello vineyard, in the heart of the Bussia cru, stands out as a rare place, where Nebbiolo achieves a form of silent perfection. It is in this unique plot, facing southeast on ancient marl-limestone soils, that this exceptional Riserva is born, produced only in exceptional vintages, when nature offers a perfect balance between concentration, freshness, and finesse.

After rigorous vinification, the cuvée begins a prolonged aging process, first in large oak barrels, then in the bottle, where it slowly and patiently matures until it achieves a pure and majestic expression of the grape variety.

The nose is a masterpiece of complex and nuanced aromas: candied black cherry, wilted rose petal, supple leather, blond tobacco, warm tar, discreet musk, and black truffle. Each breath reveals a new facet, a new layer, like the pages of an old book that one turns with reverence.

On the palate, the texture is ample yet airy, structured without being rigid. The tannins are chiseled, remarkably elegant, supported by a lively acidity that prolongs the freshness despite the wine’s richness. Everything is balanced, in a serene and effortless harmony. The endless finish lingers on notes of noble undergrowth, sweet spices, and warm stone, with a rare feeling of fullness.

Langhe, Monferrato, Roero – Piedmontese heritage enhanced by Antinori

In the northwest of Italy, between gentle hills, morning mists, and clay-limestone soils, Piedmont stands out as a major wine-growing region, the cradle of noble grape varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. It was here, in Alba, in the heart of the Langhe region, that the Antinori family acquired the prestigious Prunotto winery, founded in 1904, to perpetuate the excellence and finesse of great Piedmontese wines.

Through Prunotto, Antinori highlights a respectful approach to the terroir, revealing the full diversity of the appellations: from Monferrato to Roero, including the most legendary Nebbiolo appellations, including Barolo. The wines are vinified with great precision, combining local tradition and masterful modernity, to offer authentic, profound, and timeless expressions of this unique region.
