Note di degustazione
Made from vines that are over 50 years old, the 2001 Barbaresco Cotta is the roundest and most supple of the wines and offers a potent nose of truffles and wet earth along with a brooding palate of dark, extracted fruit. Along with the Fausoni, it is one of the more approachable Sottimano Barbarescos when young. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2013.

The 2001 Barbaresco Cotta is dark in color and powerful in aroma with penetrating sensations of red currants, smoke, and anisette, and offers a forceful, deep palate, quite dense and sustained. Drink: 2006-2018. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.

Good, bright red. Raspberry, coffee and smoky, nutty oak on the nose. Plummy and glyceral-rich, with sweet, somewhat wild flavors of plum, minerals and oak. Quite velvety in texture, with just enough mid-palate verve. Finishes with substantial oak tannins.
