✨ Technical Specifications
Roberto Sarotto's Barolo originates from the fog-draped hills of the Langhe subregion in Piemonte, Italy. Crafted exclusively from the thick-skinned Nebbiolo grape grown in ancient, marine-derived calcareous marl soils, this classic red wine undergoes extended fermentation to extract vibrant phenolics before traditional oak aging. The Sarotto family emphasizes pure, terroir-driven viticulture in Neviglie, yielding a Barolo known for its perfumed floral aromas, firm architectural tannic backbone, and vibrant acidity that allows it to mature gracefully over many years.

Rooted in a family winemaking heritage dating back to the late 18th century, Roberto Sarotto is situated in Neviglie within the picturesque Langhe hills of Piedmont, Italy. Roberto Sarotto took the helm in the 1980s after completing his oenological studies in Alba, modernizing operations and expanding the family's holdings across premier appellations such as Barolo, Barbaresco, and Gavi. The winery adheres to a philosophy of low yields, meticulous vineyard stewardship, and precise, temperature-controlled vinification that honors regional typicity. Roberto Sarotto is particularly celebrated for producing powerful yet refined Barolo and Barbaresco wines crafted from top-tier Nebbiolo grapes.
