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.
This is the most honest way to taste what Monforte d'Alba brings to Nebbiolo before Cascina Sòt's cru bottlings add another layer of complexity — dark fruit, black pepper, and undergrowth with powerful, well-integrated tannin.
