Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is one of the truly great grape varieties. Or, to put it another way, it has the potential to produce truly great wines. Foremost among them are Barolo and its little sister Barbaresco, both made as single-variety wines. Although the name Nebbiolo derives from the Italian word for fog (nebbia), the grape needs one thing above all: sunshine. And the right soil.
Nebbiolo thrives almost exclusively on calcareous marl soils. This helps explain why over 80% of the world's plantings are in Italy, mainly in Piedmont. The association with fog comes from the white bloom that develops on the ripe grape. Nebbiolo takes its time, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Only with ageing do these tannin-rich wines develop their full aromas.
That is why Barolo must mature for at least two years in barrel and one year in bottle. It is worth the wait. Guaranteed!

Approachable on the palate with rich fruit, distinctive spice and silky tannins.

Azienda Agricola Sottimano

Driven by enthusiasm and with a little luck, Rino Sottimano acquired the estate and its surrounding vineyards in the late sixties, after completing his studies. It lies in the famous Barbaresco vineyard site of 'Cotta'.

Rino Sottimano believes that work in the vineyard is precisely what matters when making great wines. For this reason, he has tried from the outset to avoid chemicals and herbicides in order to preserve the soil's natural balance. His wines prove that it works. Once the groundwork in the vineyard has been successfully completed, winemaking in the cellar becomes all the easier. The same philosophy is followed there. The Piedmontese family relies on natural yeasts, long maceration periods and a year of ageing on the lees (sur lie) to give the wines an appealing smoothness, just as was customary in the past.

Their three children now actively support them with the same passion and dedication with which Rino and his wife originally built up the estate. Today they farm around 18 hectares entirely organically.
