Nebbiolo

About this wine

An unconventional traditional-method sparkling wine made entirely from Nebbiolo — a grape almost never associated with bubbles. After direct pressing and a roughly 20-day primary fermentation at controlled temperature, the base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and rests on lees for around 36 months, gaining fine bead and refined elegance. Zero dosage (dosaggio zero) means no sugar is added at disgorgement.

Beginner's Note

A bold, food-friendly sparkling wine for those curious about Nebbiolo in an unfamiliar form.

Sommelier's Note

"Making a zero-dosage Metodo Classico from Nebbiolo is an unusual choice for a Barolo-focused estate, and the result — fresh red fruit, white flowers, and fine minerality — shows real ambition beyond the range's structured reds."

Food Pairings

A striking aperitif choice, and versatile enough to pair with charcuterie, aged cheeses, and even light red-meat dishes thanks to its Nebbiolo base.

When to drink it

Aperitivo, celebratory toasts, and pairing with a full meal course

Terroir & Winemaking

100% Nebbiolo, vinified as a traditional-method (Metodo Classico) sparkling wine. Direct-pressed grapes undergo primary fermentation for about 20 days at approximately 15°C, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle and roughly 36 months of lees aging. Dosaggio zero: no liqueur d'expedition (sugar) is added at disgorgement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this sparkling wine made from Nebbiolo?
Nebbiolo is rarely used for sparkling wine since it's traditionally reserved for structured reds like Barolo, but Cascina Sòt uses it here to create a distinctive, food-friendly Metodo Classico that reflects the estate's terroir in an unconventional format.
What does 'dosaggio zero' mean?
It means no sugar (liqueur d'expedition) is added during disgorgement, resulting in a bone-dry style that showcases the base wine's natural fruit and acidity.
How is it different from Champagne?
It uses the same traditional bottle-fermentation method as Champagne but is made from 100% Nebbiolo rather than Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, giving it a distinct red-fruit and floral character.
