Cascina Sot 2022 Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore is a still red wine that embodies the essence of Piedmontese winemaking tradition. Hailing from the fertile hills of the Langhe, this wine is a celebration of the Barbera variety, which shines in all its glory in this vintage. The year 2022 brought favorable weather, allowing the grapes to fully ripen, developing extraordinary aromatic complexity and balance.
In the glass, the nose is immediately struck by an intense and inviting bouquet, featuring notes of ripe cherry, plum, and a delicate hint of spices. As the wine evolves, floral scents and a slight minerality emerge, testament to the quality of the terroir from which it originates. On the palate, Barbera d'Alba stands out for its structure and roundness, with soft tannins and a lively freshness that make each sip a harmonious experience. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste reminiscent of red fruit and a touch of vanilla, derived from aging in oak barrels.
Perfect for pairing with traditional Piedmontese dishes, such as agnolotti with ragù or Barolo braised beef, this label also lends itself beautifully to convivial moments, from an evening with friends to a more formal dinner. Cascina Sot's Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore is not just a wine; it’s a journey through the aromas and flavors of the Langhe, capable of telling stories of passion and generous lands. Ideally, it can be opened now or left in the bottle for a few years, with the promise of revealing even more complex nuances over time. With an alcohol content of 15%, it is a wine that embraces, invites conviviality, and warms the heart.
