Cottá Barbaresco DOCG 2021 1500ml

Rino Sottimano started out small but mighty by acquiring vineyards in the renowned Barbaresco vineyard "Cotta". Over the years, he has added prime plots in the Curra, Fausoni, Basarin and Pajorè vineyards. Since 1990, the vineyards have been cultivated without the use of synthetic chemical sprays or artificial fertilisers. In traditional winemaking, maceration and fermentation take 12 to 24 days. Rino's son Andrea only ferments the wines spontaneously and does not use any other technical aids in the cellar. Malolactic fermentation also takes place spontaneously in French barriques, whereby the use of new barriques is so discreet that the wood flavour is barely noticeable. After ageing, the wine is bottled without filtration or other fining. The wines impress with their delicately fruity, elegant, subtle and yet savoury character.
