Barbaresco “Cottá" DOCG 2016

Az. Agr. Sottimano | Piedmont
Az. Agr. Sottimano s.s.a. | Loc. Cottà 21 | IT 12052 Neive

Bright garnet red with copper edge. Fine cinema smell of red fruits and sea buckthorn. In addition forest soil paired with a breath of tobacco and bitter almond. In the glass then still young, at first loud tannins, with some air then softer tones and a powerful, lasting final. An elegant, aristocratic wine that leaves a lasting impression not only at the first glass. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very multi-faceted note of stone fruit, violets and balsamic components; robust tannins on the palate, youthful but also full of character, ending with nuances of maraschino cherries and spices. "A timelessly elegant style, excellently crafted. Vinum

"Concentrated ruby. Firm, youthful yet multi-layered on the nose. Generous fruit with full spread on the palate with fantastic, muscular but finely built tannins. Very long and with a firm grip. Truly tasty, long tannins" Jancis Robinson

"A beam of cherry courses through this rich red, shaded by floral, iron and tobacco accents. This is taut, finishing with dense tannins that make this suitable for the long haul. Shows fine balance and intensity, but patience is required." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Barbaresco Cottà brings together the natural breadth of this site with the more refined style that has been in place here for some years, in an absolutely stunning, translucent wine that hits all the right notes. Sweet black cherry, lavender, spice and menthol all run through this richly, textured, deeply satisfying Barbaresco. The 2016 has so much energy and also so much depth. I absolutely loved it." VINOUS

"This is the trademark wine of this estate for its elegance, power and finesse. With an extra gear in terms of intensity, right off the bat the 2016 Barbaresco Cottá brings fullness and generosity. There are wonderful notes of mint and licorice to it, a streamlined wine with a great deal of purity. It's got a lot of volume and even more dimension. There is also that pretty salty mineral note on the close." Robert Parker
