"The Sottimano 2022 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Pairolero was born in a vintage that was quite problematic for Andrea Sottimano, especially in terms of his Nebbiolo. He decided not to make his single-vineyard Barbarescos in 2022. Barbera, however, is a different animal that reacts well to hot vintages. This wine reveals a dark character with baked plum and blackberry coulis. It's quite a mouthful and pleasantly chewy in texture."
Vinous, 90-92 Points
"Tasted from barrel, the 2022 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Pairolero is a very young wine that has just finished its malolactic fermentation. Dense and pliant, with tremendous fruit purity, the 2022 is shaping up to be a jewel. I tasted it from cask, before any racking and without any sulfur additions at all. It is such an impressive young wine."
Winemaker Notes:
"100% Barbera. Pairolero is a blend of two different vineyards of Barbera in Neive: Basarin and San Cristoforo. The Barbera Pairolero has a dark, inky red, with loads of red fruits, minerals and a touch of graphite on the nose with a long, rich taste in which the fruity components and the spicy notes are well balanced by a good acidity."
Alcohol: 14.5%
