Benotto Petro

Asti Barbera and Dolcetto from Piemonte's clay-rich heart.

Benotto Petro operates in Asti, the heart of Piemonte's Barbera country. The winery focuses on two of the region's defining varieties: Barbera and Dolcetto, both native to these rolling hills and clay-rich soils. The Barbera d'Asti anchors the portfolio—a wine of structure and dark fruit typical of the appellation, where the grape achieves ripeness and acidity in balance. The Rupestris Barbera d'Asti Superiore represents a more concentrated expression, built from older vines and extended aging. Plisse Monferrato Dolcetto rounds the range, capturing the lighter, more delicate character Dolcetto brings to the broader Monferrato zone. Wine Spectator has rated these wines. The winery's selections reflect Piemonte's tradition of food-friendly reds—wines built for the table rather than the trophy case.
