The Estate

Edoardo "Edo" Sobrino started this estate in 1999. He owns about 9 ha and produces only 20000 bottles, that means a mere 15 Hl / Ha, about 0.60 kg / vine.
Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo vineyards are in Diano D'Alba, while the Nebbiolo for Barolo is in Monvigliero cru close to Verduno. First vintage of Barolo was 2001.

Philosophy

Edo thinks that the only way to express the uniqueness of a terroir, is to work the vineyards with organic approach, mantain the soils alive and active and limit the production as much as possible without compromizing the natural balance of the vines.

The People

Edo has been always fond of fine wines, he has a phenomenal private cellar and inspired by the amazing Barolos produced by Roberto Voerzio he decided to devote his life to the vineyards.

Comments

Sobrino wines combines power and elegance. The Barolo from vieilles vignes of Monvigliero conveys impressive floral notes (roses) and wild red berries, together with slight tobacco hints. All the wines show amazing ripeness and freshness, with perfectly integrated tannins.
