Sottimano - Maté 2022
Azienda Agricola Sottimano is located in Neive, Piedmont , Italy . Sottimano was founded in the late 1960s by Rino Sottimano in the Barbaresco region. It has since expanded to other prestigious vineyards in the Piedmont region. Its 18 hectare vineyard is managed organically and includes five Barbaresco vintages: Currà, Cottà, Fausoni, Pajorè and Basarin. The estate is managed by Rino Sottimano, his wife Anna and their children Andrea, Elena and Claudia. Their philosophy is the use of natural yeasts, long macerations and aging on lees for malolactic fermentation, as was the case with previous generations.
Maté is made from manually harvested Brachetto . Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and maceration lasts 7 to 8 days according to the principle of infusion. The wine is aged for 8 months in stainless steel vats .
Grape variety: 100% Brachetto
