Notes: The Sorì Paitin belongs to the Pasquero-Elia heirs since 1796. It is the Serraboella warmest slope, graced with unique soils that since ages is planted with Nebbiolo. Sorì means the first place where the snow melts with the first winter sun rays. Ancient rule to select the best plots for Nebbiolo. Serraboella is the most famous cru in the Southern Neive. A long hill exposed to West that gently bends towards South getting steeper. On this very side: the steepest and the warmest, this Barbaresco has a unique expression. Power, volume are laced by an elegant texture.
Nebbiolo vines were planted between 1953 and 1980 and guyot trained, growing on sand and marl stratification called Formazioni di Lequio. Viticulture is organic with the sole use of sulphur and copper natural compound, manual or mechanic mowing to avoid herbicides, and harvest is exclusively manual.
Nebbiolo is all vinified with the same philosophy: subject to pressing and destemming then ferments and macerate from 3 to 6 weeks in stainless steel, than it finishes the maceration with the ancient technique of the submerged cap. At the end of the winter, the wine is brought to the wood barrels where it stays around 1 year and a half or 2 years to gain structure. Barrels volume vary between 25 to 50 hectoliters, made of Slavonian and Austrian oak with an age of 15 years.
