Sobrero

Piedmont, Italy

A masterpiece of refined, sophisticated elegance from Piedmont

In the heart of Barolo, amidst the rolling vineyards of Castiglione Falletto, lies Sobrero Francesco, one of Piedmont's finest wineries. Under the direction of Flavio Sobrero, Sobrero Francesco embodies refined elegance, yet what sets it apart, despite its prestigious reputation, is its remarkable accessibility.

Founded in 1940 by Flavio's grandfather, the winery initially focused on grape cultivation. Over time, it evolved into winemaking and, under Flavio's leadership, has now achieved organic certification and a perfect balance between modern and classic winemaking.

Of their 16 hectares, 13 are located in Castiglione Falletto, where four of their exceptional Barolo wines come from six cru vineyards: Pernanno, Villero, Ornato, Piantà, Valentino, and Amellea. The remaining vineyards, located in Canelli, produce excellent white wines.

Sobrero's offering is a blend of diversity and excellence. From everyday gems like Dolcetto and Barbera (one oaked and one unoaked) to a Nebbiolo from the Langhe that offers excellent value, there's a spectrum of enticing wines for every palate and every moment.

The stars of the show, however, are the Barolos. Each of them, with its nuanced aromas and distinct character, represents the essence of the vineyard from which it originates. These exceptional wines are not only a delight for the palate, but also an age-worthy treat for the future.

Not to be forgotten are the white wines, an easy-drinking Moscato and a Chardonnay, both of which never disappoint.

The organically certified Sobrero Francesco is a prime example of progressive winemaking in the prestigious Piedmont region.
