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.
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.
