Description

Sordo Giovanni is a single family that owns over 50 hectares of vineyards between Langhe and Roero. For four generations they have been producing exceptional wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera D’Alba, and many more. The family-run winery was founded in 1912 and became famous with the great contribution of Giovanni Sordo.

Barolo wine is so revered that it was one of just three wines awarded DOCG status on the day that the classification was introduced in July 1980. (The other two were Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano).

Review

Scents of dried cherry/dried cranberry, pot pourri, faint game meat, some smoky-graphite in there too. Kind of beefy in the bouquet. Sloshes with authority into the palate, earthy-nutty, slightly stewed in fruit character but buoyed on fresh, crisp acidity and a web of firm feathery tannin. Brooding kind of Barolo.
