The nose expresses a vinous aroma accompanied by notes of flowers and ripe red fruit, cherry in particular. On the palate it is fresh and balanced, characterized by a great drinking pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlfredo Prunotto founded his business in 1922, and was one of Piemonte’s most dynamic exporters until his retirement in 1956. The company passed then to Prunotto’s friend Beppe Colla, now a revered winemaker and one of the founding fathers of modern Piemonte. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis defining moment was the decision in 1961 to bottle single-vineyard, or cru, wines from the finest sites – a practice that is now the norm in the region. Those wines were made from bought-in grapes, but in the 1990s the current owners, the Antinoris of Tuscany, extended the Prunotto holdings, including plots in the outstanding Bric Turot and Bussia vineyards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The quality of the top wines goes without saying, but the rest of the range is made with equal aplomb. The style is modern without being exaggerated: freshness of aroma and approachability of structure are viewed as positives, but copious new oak is not. Indeed, the only wines that see the inside of a brand new barrique are the outstanding single vineyard Barberas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrunotto Dolcetto d'Alba - Hay Wines\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"HAY WINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57195288789367,"sku":"10655","price":22.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6009\/9006\/files\/coming-soon.jpg?v=1735277757","url":"https:\/\/haywines.co.uk\/products\/prunotto-dolcetto-dalba-2023","provider":"HAY WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
