About this wine
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.
The most approachable way to experience Nebbiolo's perfume without Barolo's tannic grip.
Sommelier's Note
"If you want to understand what makes Nebbiolo special — the rose-petal perfume, the savory melon-rind edge — before committing to a Barolo, this is the bottle to start with."
Food Pairings
Excellent with pasta in meat, mushroom, or truffle sauces, roasted meats, and mature cheeses.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Langhe Nebbiolo differ from Barolo?
- It's made from the same grape but from vineyards or aging regimes outside strict Barolo DOCG rules, giving a lighter, more immediately approachable wine meant for earlier drinking.
- What does it taste like?
- Expect scents of wild rose and the varietal note of melon rind typical of Nebbiolo, with a balanced, appropriately tannic, and long palate.
- Can this wine age?
- While built for more immediate enjoyment than Barolo, a well-made Langhe Nebbiolo can develop nicely over 3-5 years.

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.
