{"product_id":"barbaresco-prunotto-1979","title":"Barbaresco Prunotto 1979","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1979 Barbaresco Prunotto is a red wine made entirely from the Nebbiolo grape. It is produced by Prunotto, a historic estate founded in 1904 in Serralunga under the name 'Ai Vini delle Langhe'. The winery took its current name in 1923 when Alfredo Prunotto assumed control. This specific vintage was bottled in the production zone at Cantina S. Cassiano by the winery Alfredo Prunotto of Colla and Filiberti, reflecting the era when Beppe Colla led the estate. Colla, who took over in 1956, was a pioneer in bottling wines from specific parcels, sparking the cru-thinking that became central to the region's winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Barbaresco, a classic Denominazione di Origine Controllata area located in the Langhe hills east of Alba. This area is situated within Piedmont, a prestigious wine region in northwestern Italy bordered by the Alps. Piedmont, which literally translates to 'at the foot of the mountain', is renowned for its steep hills often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long ripening period. The 1979 vintage in this region achieved a score of 88 points and is described as soft and charming. Barbaresco wines are primarily sourced from the municipalities of Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, and are often considered an elegant counterpart to Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNebbiolo, the sole grape used for this wine, is an Italian top variety known for producing elegant wines with great structure. It is deeply tied to the Piedmont region, particularly in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Today, Prunotto operates as the Piedmont base for the large Italian Antinori empire, which acquired the house in 1989 and gained full control in 1994. Based in Alba, the estate continues to produce a wide portfolio of Piedmont wines, maintaining a legacy that has followed the house through more than a century of ownership changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prunotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57370752483654,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1174_484a9455-ca83-4257-ac91-2f8acc1a4554.jpg?v=1789473797","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/barbaresco-prunotto-1979","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
