Barbaresco “Cottá" DOCG 2015

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

Helles Granatrot mit kupferfarbenem Rand. Feines Geruchs-Kino nach roten Früchten und Sanddorn. Dazu Walderde gepaart mit einem Hauch Tabak und Bittermandel. Im Glas dann noch junge, anfangs laute Tannine, mit einiger Luft dann sanftere Töne und ein druckvolles, nachhaltiges Finale. Ein eleganter, aristokratischer Wein, der nicht nur beim ersten Glas einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlässt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Tasted blind. Maturing mid ruby with narrow bricky rim. Cloves, cinnamon bark and cherry palate with lots of coating tannins. Great balance, length and concentration. Hedonistic but needs more time." Jancis Robinson

"The 2015 Barbaresco Cottá comes across as a bit heavy, which is something that can happen in warmer vintages, where the natural heft of this site is amplified. There is no shortage of intensity and power, but the Cottà feels blowsy today. On the more positive side, the 2015 does offer a good bit of freshness. It will be interesting to see where things ultimately shake out here." VINOUS

"Very attractive red-cherry, redcurrant, plum and floral nose with discreet oak, then a sleek yet powerful and tannic palate with a lot of structure and some real elegance. Enough fruit for immediate drinking, but this is made for aging." James Suckling

"From a celebrated cru in Neive, the 2015 Barbaresco Cottá is a shapely, soft and accessible interpretation of Nebbiolo from a warm vintage. This mid-weight wine boasts a bright bouquet with ruby highlights. Those aromas are alert, tonic and straightforward in delivery. In terms of mouthfeel, this wine is firm and structured. However, the astringency is safely within bounds (for a young Nebbiolo). Some 10,000 bottles were made. Only 10% of the wine goes into new oak and the rest goes into neutral barrique." Robert Parker

"Cherry, strawberry, chicory and woodsy notes mark this solidly structured, tightly wound Barbaresco. The sweet fruit offsets the dense tannins for balance, and this stays long and vibrant." Wine Spectator
