Name: Barolo Bricco San Pietro DOCG
Brand: Cascina Sòt

The winery sits inside the cru

Cascina Sòt stands in the heart of the Bricco San Pietro, in Monforte d'Alba. This Barolo comes from our old Nebbiolo vines, the ones that surround the house: calcareous marl and sandy soils, grass between the rows, no herbicides. The wine tells the story of the hill it comes from.

How we make it

Traditional winemaking, by hand

Twenty-five days in a wooden vat with the cap floating on the must. Punch-downs are done by hand, three times a day — at night too, when needed. The cold of a Langhe winter takes care of tartaric stabilization; water from the well controls the temperatures.

The cap of skins in the vat during maceration — 25 days on the skins
Floating-cap maceration, 3 pump-overs and 3 punch-downs a day at 27–29 °C.

A night-time punch-down in the cellar, by headlamp — At night too
Punch-downs don't watch the clock: they happen when the wine asks for them.

A French oak barrique with its Barolo Bricco San Pietro label — 28 months in oak
60% new tonneaux and 40% second-use barriques, then a year in bottle.
