A single-vineyard Barbaresco from the small Cottà vineyard in the commune of Neive, purchased by the family in the 1970s and vinified separately for the first time in 2015. The Tortonian marine soil imprint of this historic parcel gives complex, long-lived wines, matured for at least 20 months in German and Austrian oak casks.
Cottà is the estate's most 'terroir-driven' cru — the Tortonian soil imprint is unmistakable in the glass.
