Sottimano

About Sottimano

With his base firmly anchored in the Cottá cru, Rino eventually expanded his holdings to include additional vineyards in Currà, Fausoni, Pajorè and Basarin - which now total about 18 hectares. In addition, the estate also farms Dolcetto, Barbera and Brachetto grapes. Since inception, Rino has eschewed any use of chemicals and herbicides, opting for a minimal intervention approach. Wines are fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and bottled without filtering or fining. Today, Rino is joined by his children, Andrea, Elena and Claudia in running the estate.

With the Cottá cru being the birthplace of the estate, little wonder the Barbaresco Cottá takes the spot as the most famous wine of the estate. The commune of Neive lies east of the town of Barbaresco, and Cottá is considered one of the top crus of Neive amongst others like Albesani, Basarin, Currá, Gallina, Santo Stefano and Serraboella.

Sottimano Barbaresco Cotta (1x75cl) 2016 Repack Estimated Arrival to United Kingdom: 9-11 weeks		Piedmont	1	97 (WE)	Inc. VAT £151.46	View
Wine Enthusiast (97) Red berry, violet, forest floor, vanilla and balsamic aromas of menthol and camphor slowly appear on this stunning, radiant red along with whiffs of charcuterie. The vibrant, focused palate is young and taut but already impeccably balanced, evoking juicy red cherry, pomegranate, star anise and cool mint framed in firm acidity and tightly knit but fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. It's already fantastic but will hold for even more complexity. Best 2026–2036. More Info
