About this wine
The Riserva bottling of Cascina Sòt's signature cru, released only in the finest vintages after extended aging. Sourced from the same Bricco San Pietro vines as the standard bottling but held back longer in oak and bottle before release, it shows greater depth, spice, and tannic refinement.
A serious, cellar-worthy Barolo best saved for special occasions or further aging.
Sommelier's Note
"The Riserva shows what Bricco San Pietro can become with patience — the same chalky tannin backbone, but layered with more spice, dried herb, and forest-floor complexity from the extra years in barrel and bottle."
Food Pairings
Ideal with slow-braised game, aged hard cheeses, and mushroom or truffle-based dishes that can match its concentration.
When to drink it
Anniversaries, formal dinners, and long-term cellar investment

Terroir & Winemaking
100% Nebbiolo from the Bricco San Pietro cru. Traditional submerged-cap vinification followed by extended aging in small and medium French oak barrels, released as a Riserva only in favorable vintages after a longer élevage than the standard Bricco San Pietro bottling.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Riserva made every vintage?
- No, Riserva bottlings are typically released only in particularly favorable vintages, after a longer aging period than the standard Bricco San Pietro Barolo.
- How does it differ in taste from the standard Bricco San Pietro?
- Expect greater depth and spice complexity with more resolved, silkier tannins as a result of the extended barrel and bottle aging required for Riserva classification.
- What is the ideal drinking window?
- Given Barolo's naturally long aging potential and the extra maturation before release, this Riserva is built to reward drinking a decade or more after the vintage, though it can also be enjoyed on release with decanting.

バローロ・ブリッコ・サン・ピエトロ
Barolo Bricco San Pietro
RedNebbiolo
Cascina Sòt's flagship single-cru Barolo, sourced from vines up to 85 years old in the acclaimed Bricco San Pietro subzone of Monforte d'Alba — the estate's stylistic signature. Made with a traditional submerged-cap fermentation in open wooden vats, the wine ages roughly 28 months split between tonneaux and second-passage barriques, followed by a year of bottle rest before release.
バローロ・デル・コムーネ・ディ・モンフォルテ・ダルバ
Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba
RedNebbiolo
Cascina Sòt's entry-level, commune-designated Barolo, blending Nebbiolo from estate vineyards across Monforte d'Alba rather than a single cru. Vinified in purity following traditional methods and aged roughly 32 months in large Slavonian oak casks plus 6 months in bottle, it offers an accessible expression of the estate's Monforte terroir.
バルベーラ・ダルバ
Barbera d'Alba
RedBarbera
A vibrant, everyday Barbera from Cascina Sòt's Monforte d'Alba vineyards, showing the variety's signature high acidity and juicy dark-cherry fruit. Vinified for freshness and immediate drinkability, it captures the estate's precision even in its most approachable bottling.
バルベーラ・ダルバ・スペリオーレ
Barbera d'Alba Superiore
RedBarbera
A more structured, oak-aged expression of Barbera from Cascina Sòt, showing greater concentration and roundness than the estate's standard Barbera d'Alba while retaining the variety's characteristic drive and freshness.
ドルチェット・ダルバ
Dolcetto d'Alba
RedDolcetto
A fresh, fruit-forward Dolcetto from a south-facing, 35-year-old estate vineyard in Monforte d'Alba, made with traditional submerged-cap fermentation at relatively low temperature to preserve primary aromas. Medium-bodied with soft tannin, it's designed for early, joyful drinking.
ランゲ・ネッビオーロ
Langhe Nebbiolo
RedNebbiolo
An elegant, early-drinking expression of Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, offering pristine fruit and the seductive lift of rose petal that hints at the estate's Barolo without the same tannic weight. Around 40% of the fruit spends six months in large oak, giving a hybrid steel-and-wood aging profile.
