The Sottimano family has been producing wine in Barbaresco since the 1970's. Farming 13 hectares in some of the most sought out Cru's in Neive & Trieso, their goal is simple, to allow the expression of each vineyard and each vintage to reveal itself.
Andrea and his father Rino's approach is one of minimal intervention. Native yeast fermentations, no filtering or fining of the wines, organic fertilizers are only minimally used, and natural grass cover crops are left between each row of vines.
Old vines (many planted in the 70's & 80's), Cru vineyard holdings, and low yields, all amount to some of the finest wines made in all of Piemonte.
