For a long time, Socré exclusively sold their grapes to local farmers who made wine for their own enjoyment, as well as to neighboring wineries. Since 1999, they have ramped up their wine production exponentially and brought the winery into the 21st century. This small estate owns vineyards in Roncaglie, one of the Grand Crus of Barbaresco D.O.C.G. area. The vines (with ages ranging from 10 to 50 years) are planted with a density ranging from 4,500 vines per ha up to 6,000 vines per ha.
This expressive red is made from the obscure Freisa grape, a close relative to Nebbiolo, the most prestigious Italian variety. Graceful and sleek, with red fruit and notes of violets and roses.
