Barbaresco DOCG 'Cottà' Sottimano 2019

Barbaresco DOCG Cottà is a structured and elegant red wine from the Piedmontese winery Sottimano . The label is obtained from the exclusive vinification of Nebbiolo grapes, the best known and most representative local variety. The vines aged between 50 and 70 years arise within one of the most popular crus of the denomination, namely that of Cottà near Neive. The work between the rows is based on the preservation of the delicate ecosystem, thus promoting the luxuriant development of the plants. Once the optimal degree of ripeness has been reached, the healthiest bunches are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar. Here the grapes are left to ferment and macerate on the skins for 25 days with the sole use of indigenous yeasts. For the refinement, the company focuses on the use of oak barriques, where the wine rests from 18 to 22 months before being bottled. Excellent immediately, Barbaresco DOCG Cottà can also be appreciated after resting for about ten years.
