Sottimano Barbaresco ‘Fausoni’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

Well … it really is just a case of celebrating the differences. Another divine wine. Bloody and spiced. The herbs and a little anise, firing through. Transparency with a slatey feel and playful grip. The macerative notes are lifting from the glass and need just a little more time to integrate. Tar and roses at play. Feeling a little austere at the moment it needs a little time to settle into itself, which it undoubtedly will. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Feb 2025The 2021 Barbaresco Fau

Sottimano Barbaresco ‘Basarin’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

An elegance and grace from a perfumed savoury cherry laden aroma. Showing complexity and seamless harmony. Flowing fine and exceptionally developed. Earthy with anise, garrigue, tar and liquorice all wrapping a long even core of pure fruit with ripe and layered tannins, a little black tea woven in. This will be quite some wine in years to come.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Feb 2025The 2021 Barbaresco Basarin is fabulous. Rich, ample and seductive, the Basarin marries the charm that is so t

Sottimano Barbaresco ‘Cotta’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

Brooding, there’s a richness counterpointed with transparency and a thirst-quenching acid tannin complex. Those tannins are nutty, layered long and even with a playful grip. Savoury with superb fruit. Darker, maraschino cherry with a chocolatey lick. Power with delicacy. Flowing and delicious. Serious and impressive.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Feb 2025The 2021 Barbaresco Cottá is quite the powerhouse. As usual, it is marked by a huge mid-palate of fruit, but more classic winemaking th

Sottimano Barbaresco ‘Basarin’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

Pair this up with the Currá and have a little Neb-Festa! Having two wines side by side from adjacent vineyards is always fun. Inevitably it's a demonstration in just how much varriation there is between vineyards with very short distances between them. They house style is evident. Basarin has a more elegant feel to it over the richer Currá, though it is still has a bit of weight to it. Normally, I am not an advocate of new oak in Barolo or Barbaresco. Here there is just a lick here from 10% ne

Sottimano Barbaresco ‘Currá’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

My cup overfloweth! Barbaresco kicking it up a gear! My first taste of a Sottimano. WOW! This is stunning. Such a complete wine. It has everything and all the right places. A density and richness of dark fruit. Long, lingering and delicious. The richness is perfectly tempered by exceptional tannins of depth. This has been expertly macerated, the time on skins during ferment and just following the completion of the alcoholic fermentation is apparently around 40 days. That time has woven, truffles

They understand the rule book so have thrown it away only to be used when they know they need to. I guess that's what 150 years of making wine can give you! The 2016 of this was a cracker. True to the vintage & site with bold yet refined structure. The 2019 is again a cracker and true to vintage. This time all grace and elegance from what is proving a classic year.Beautifully weighted, the body of this slightly warmer vineyard with the clarity and sophistication of 2019 Barbaresco. Rich

Massolino “Albesani” Barbaresco MAGNUM 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

On the western hills above Neive, Albesani is one of the great vineyards of Barbaresco. In his “Barbaresco MGA”, Alessandro Masnaghetti writes that “the combination of soil, stature and exposure creates one of the greatest vineyards of the Langhe”. So perhaps it won’t be a surprise that, of the three Barbaresco parcels, Massolino has chosen to bottle its first single-vineyard wine from this site. As Franco Massolino explains: “From the very first moment this wine began to ferment, we
