About this wine
A textural white made from Nascetta, an indigenous grape variety native to the Novello area of the Langhe. Cascina Sòt's version undergoes about five to six days of skin contact and batonnage, giving notes of honey, lily of the valley, and ripe peach with far more complexity than a simple Chardonnay.
A rare, textural white — more complex and food-friendly than a typical Chardonnay.
Sommelier's Note
"Nascetta is one of Piedmont's most underrated white grapes, and Cascina Sòt's skin-contact, batonnage-driven version proves it can rival far more famous whites for texture and complexity."
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with white fish in cream sauce, soft cheeses, and dishes with herbal or honeyed notes.

Terroir & Winemaking
100% Nascetta (Langhe DOC Nas-cëtta del Comune di Novello). Approximately five to six days of skin maceration followed by batonnage in steel, then several months of rest — a textural, low-intervention style that showcases the variety's honeyed, floral character.

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・ブリッコ・サン・ピエトロ・リゼルヴァ
Barolo Bricco San Pietro Riserva
RedNebbiolo
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.
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.
