Tasting Notes: Socré Barbaresco, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, presents a complex and elegant profile beginning with a classic garnet red hue that may deepen with age. The nose offers intense, refined aromas of violet, cherry jam, and red berries, with underlying hints of mint and balsamic. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience characterized by dense, silky tannins and vibrant acidity, balanced by flavors of raspberry compote and spice, culminating in a persistent, graceful finish.
Estate History: The Socré winery, meaning "clog maker" in the local dialect, was established by the Piacentino family in 1869 in the Barbaresco region of Piedmont. The family initially sold most of their grapes to local producers, but shifted their focus to producing their own wine in the late 1990s. The completion of a modern cellar in 2012 solidified their commitment to creating premium Barbaresco from their vineyards in the prestigious Roncaglie cru, where they practice sustainable viticulture to express the unique character of the land.
