2016 Barbaresco, Cottá, Sottimano, Piedmont, Italy

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Sottimano is a family-owned wine producer located in Neive, one of the villages in the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, Italy. The winery was founded in the 1970s by Rino Sottimano, who bought a farmhouse and some land in the Cottà Cru. Today, he is joined by his children Andrea, Elena and Claudia, who share his passion and dedication for making high-quality wines that reflect the terroir of their vineyards.
