Socré, Nebbiolo, Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2019

100% Nebbiolo

Socré’s flagship wine, this Barbaresco has an elegant bouquet of violets with accompanying balsamic, mint, and cherry jam notes. The palate is soft and smooth with dense and silky tannins. 

Fermentation in 25 hl vats of French oak and 30 hl stainless steel vats. Ages for 18 months in French oak used barriques (2nd and 3rd passage) and then 6 months in concrete vats.

For a long time, Socré exclusively sold their grapes to local farmers who made wine for their own enjoyment, as well as to neighboring wineries.  Since 1999, they have ramped up their wine production exponentially and brought the winery into the 21st century.
