Barbera d'Alba Pairolero Sottimano 2016

The wine

This is the only cuvée produced from Barbera at the domain; the wine is concentrated, with a central aromatic focus on ripe fruits and okay notes from its 15-month élevage. Elegant and fruity on the whole.

About the Producer Sottimano

Rino Sottimano acquired this domaine in 1975 and was joined by his son Andrea in 1994. The domaine places a great emphasis on tending its vines and cultivating its various terroirs organically. Combining tradition and modernity, the domaine ages its wines in barrels, following the Burgundy method (20% in new barrels), rejecting large barrels as incompatible with the ethos of the domaine. The wines are not filtered or fined.
