The demand for rare, authentic, and historically significant wines continues to grow on the global stage and Borgo Prunatelli is leading the charge in Tuscany.
We are exceptionally proud to announce that they have been awarded prestigious medals by The WineHunter commission at the Merano WineFestival, specifically for their masterclass in reviving ancient native grapes.
Borgo Prunatelli’s mission goes far beyond traditional winemaking; it is an active preservation of the Val di Sieve’s viticultural heritage.
The Merano WineFestival recognized three of their remarkable 100% single-varietal wines:
Sanforte IGT: Crafted from a nearly extinct, ancient native grape that the estate spent years researching and meticulously replanting. It offers a completely unique flavor profile that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
• Canaiolo Bianco Toscana IGT 2023
• Canaiolo Nero Nero IGT 2024
Canaiolo Bianco IGT: A true global exclusive. Borgo Prunatelli is currently the only estate producing a 100% single-varietal Canaiolo Bianco, turning a historical blending grape into an award-winning standalone white wine.
Canaiolo Nero IGT: A brilliant, pure expression of a historic dark grape, proving that this ancient Tuscan native possesses the elegance and structure to shine beautifully on its own.
As their official export hub, we are thrilled to see these rare viticultural gems receive top-tier international recognition. Medals like these validate the extraordinary potential of indigenous vines and offer forward-thinking markets a chance to experience the true, unfiltered history of Tuscan terroir.
CHEERS!
