Lively notes of black currant, raspberry, black cherry, and violets alongside underbrush, worn leather, thyme, and black pepper.  The palate is mild and pleasant with great integration of fruit and tanning with a judicious acidity that finishes with light earth and some spice.

WINE INFORMATION

The Sobrero family has more than 70 years of winemaking history, working the vineyards of the rolling Castiglione hills. Azienda Agricola Sobrero Francesco is now owned and managed by the third generation. Since the 1940’s with the efforts of grandfather Francesco, the modernization of Sobrero Winery continues to be reinforced. From the 1960’s with Settimo and Pier Franco, and Flavio since 2000, the winery has experienced years of continuous growth: from the sale of bulk to bottled wine, from the purchase of new vineyards to the expansion into export markets.  Passion, love and tradition merge in the working of the land, sites of several “Cru” wines, Barolo, Barbera and Dolcetto, rendered distinctive by specific characteristics.  

The soil composition is made up of yellow-reddish sands, alternated with grey marl from the Helvetian-Tortonian period, is rich in minerals and a sign of the once-present warm sea waters that left their mark on the earth and bestow a sense of place with this wine.

The winery is divided into the fermentation area, and the ageing area, in which the wine rests in Slavonian and French oak casks (from 25 to 45 hl capacity) to exalt its characteristics. The constant temperature control throughout the life of the wine allows the younger wines their freshness and unmistakable fruit driven aroma.
