ABOUT PRUNOTTO
The wines of Prunotto, especially the Barolo and Barbaresco wines, are truly refined – marrying quality, authenticity, and a Piedmont identity in every glass. Owned by the Antinori family, the historic Florentine winemaking family, Prunotto’s success can also be attributed to 26 generations of winemaking experience, a passion for innovation, and Albiera Antinori’s long-term vision to make Prunotto one of Piedmont’s most outstanding wineries.
ABOUT URBANI TRUFFLES
Also operating as a family business, since their inception in 1852, Urbani’s reputation for excellence has been carefully and faithfully handed from one generation to the next. The continued success of Urbani has arguably been made possible by the unique charisma and profound knowledge of the family’s fourth generation to run the company, Paolo and Bruno. Their greatest pleasure is seeing their truffles, which are found and picked in fertile woodlands, being served on tables in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world.
ABOUT ACQUA PANNA & S.PELLEGRINO
Tastefully Italian, S.Pellegrino sparkling natural mineral water is an icon of Italian taste from 1899. With its elegant style and distinct flavor S.Pellegrino has become the world leader in fine dining, thanks to its unique persistent carbonation and fine bubbles. Acqua Panna, with its smooth and velvety taste, is recognized by worldwide chefs and sommeliers as the best natural still water, able to enhance subtle flavors. Both brands bring Italian culture, elegance and quality to your fine dining table.
