Società Agricola Socré

 Socré
Barbaresco (CN)
Socrè, in Piedmontese dialect "zoccolaio", was established way back in 1869, although it was not until 1958, with the reorganisation by Benedetto Piacentino, who first renewed the vineyard by increasing the number of Nebbiolo vines, that its winemaking history really began. With the arrival of his son Marco in the early 1990s, supported today by his sons Giulio and Lorenzo, the winery took its current form, increasingly carving out a leading role for itself on the Barbaresco scene. Between 2010 and 2012 the new cellar was built, where all the grapes produced are finally pressed. The Nebbiolo vineyards located between 250 and 300 metres above sea level, facing south-west with medium-high slopes, offer extraordinary results with fine and elegant wines that after a few years give their best. The soil texture, predominantly clayey, with a limestone base is the ideal habitat for Nebbiolo, which expresses itself perfectly in these hills and where Marco confirms himself as a small 'vigneron de garage' in the varied world of the Langa. The two Barberas and the Freisa, together with the Chardonnay, confirm the quality level of this small reality of Barbaresco.
