Spumante Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero

Cascina Sòt
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.
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.

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.
