Sottimano

Sottimano is a family-owned wine producer located in Neive, one of the villages in the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, Italy. The winery was founded in the 1970s by Rino Sottimano, who bought a farmhouse and some land in the Cottà Cru. Today, he is joined by his children Andrea, Elena and Claudia, who share his passion and dedication for making high-quality wines that reflect the terroir of their vineyards.

Sottimano produces wines from four different Barbaresco crus: Cottà, Fausoni, Pajoré and Currá, as well as a Riserva from old vines in Pajoré and Cottà. They also make wines from other local grape varieties, such as Barbera, Dolcetto, and Nebbiolo.

The winery practices organic viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar, using indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtering, and only moderate use of oak. The wines are typically elegant, expressive and balanced, with a distinctive character and personality.
