Sandro Barosi

The Climb

Since 2001, the winemaking at Cascina Corte in Dogliani, Italy, has been shaped by Sandro Barosi through a single, long tenure. That continuity matters in cellar work: it builds familiarity with the estate, the fruit, and the repetition of a place worked year after year. Instead of moving from label to label, Barosi’s practice has been tied to one countryside estate, with Amalia Battaglia as the other half of a project that became a working wine business.

Today

The work at Cascina Corte remains centered on the estate itself, where Sandro Barosi continues as winemaker. That fixed role gives the house a clear line of purpose: the vineyard and cellar are not treated as stops along a wider route, but as the core of the operation. The result is a winery defined by steady attention and a practical, hands-on approach.
