Description

Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology.

A vineyard planted in one of the subzones, defined as top of the line, with high quality characteristics, among the most interesting and prestigious of the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba.

Review
A slightly paler colour, edged faintly in purple; the bouquet is the most earthy of all the Sordo wines, stony/mineral, with porcini mushroom and dried meat/bresaola nuances. A hint of silage. The tannins are most pronounced and firm, drying and long. Not the most detailed Barolo, but a full bodied, meaty wine that begs for protein-rich food, and will be long-lived.

Tasting Profile
palate

Floral aromas with hints of fresh fruit and sweet spices on the palate, a quite savory, well-structured wine, with acids and tannins nicely in step; the latter stand out and tend to be sweet. It is a very ageable wine that after proper ageing acquires signs of its pedigree, great elegance, marked minerality and remarkable personality
