List of products by manufacturer Sottimano

The Sottimano winery was founded in 1975 by Maggiore Sottimano; the first step was purchasing the cellar and the vineyard in the Cotta' area, a very highly reputed area for Nebbiolo grapes.


Since then, Mr. Rino Sottimano the owner has developed the estate by buying other prestigious vineyards: Cottà, Currà, Fausoni, Pajore' and, more recently, Basarin. Currently, our family cultivates an average of 18 hectares and the production is divided into five "crus" of Barbaresco: Currà, Cottà, Fausoni, Basarin and Pajorè, one Dolcetto "Bric del Salto", one Barbera "Pairolero" and a dry Brachetto, called "Matè". The company produces an average of 85,000 bottles. Rino has been joined by his son Andrea, as winemaker, and his daughter Elena to follow the family business.


Particular attention is given to the cultivation of the vineyards; in this way, through very low yields, it is possible to produce structured, full bodied wines, which can be aged for several years. Since 1990, the vines have undergone only natural processes, with no use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or diserbants; the traditional diseases, that normally afflict the vineyards, are treated using eco-friendly products. The application of these products is kept to a minimum and they are used only if necessary. During the vinification, we don't use selected yeasts or bacterians, and the wines are bottled without filtering or fining.
