Organic/Bio Rino Sottimano's first vineyard, purchased in the late 1960s, It's planted to vines 50-70 years old and has been farmed without chemicals since Rino bought it. It's between the Neive and Barbaresco areas, showing the richness of Neive and minerality and cut of Barbaresco. Closed and tightly wound now, it should blossom over the next half-dozen years. Impressive.
"Moving to the 2020 Barbaresco Cotta, fantastic mineral-tinged aromas of crushed stones, pencil shavings, and blackberry are followed by a medium-bodied red with a ripe yet linear feel and crunchy red fruits of red plum, orange rind, and clove. I liked this for its more tension-packed and energetic feel and stony texture. Drink 2025-2040."
"The 2020 Barbaresco Cottá is dense, powerful and closed in on itself. Black cherry, plum, spice, menthol, mocha and earthiness add to an impression of gravitas. Huge tannins give this potent, brooding wine a great deal of structure. This impressive young Barbaresco needs time. Drink 2026-2039"
