SOTTIMANO BABARESCO BASARIN 21

The Azienda Agricola Sottimano was bought in the 60s by Rino Sottimano and is located in the middle of the Cottà site. In the following years, it was successively extended by the Currá, Fausoni, Basarin and Pajoré crus.The Cru Cottà is the winery’s home vineyard and is located between the municipalities of Neive and Barbaresco and covers about 2.8 hectares with a south-western exposure. The vines are between 50 and 70 years old and combine the fleshy, dense polyphenols of the Neive sites with the strong tannin structure of Barbaresco.

Basarin, with a mixture of clay, limestone and sand, is at about four hundred metres above sea level. It makes for wines that are always very elegant, refined, tannins are silky and softer, nuanced of spices and herbs (eucalyptus).
