A fragment of rural memory

The Sottocasa
by Càgnore
2023

Made exclusively from Montepulciano grapes, it is not meant to amaze with artifice, but to excite with the noble simplicity of things made as they once were.
Vinification respects traditional methods and privileges the authentic expression of the fruit.
Each sip is a journey through the agricultural history of the area, a tribute to the wisdom of the peasantry and the strength of a grape variety that finds its most sincere voice here.

The name is not an invention, but a legacy.
It tells of the vineyard’s location, nestled right “under the house,” where the farmer watched the vines grow every day, listened to the rhythm of the seasons and carefully protected what the land entrusted to him. Today that deep bond survives in every cluster of our vineyard, in every harvest, in every bottle. In this place charged with memory, “Il Sottocasa di Cagnore” is born, Montepulciano in
purity, tradition in its natural state.
