About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Nebbiolo is grown in the Roero area.
Vinification
The grapes are carefully destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at around 28 °C and is followed by 10 days of maceration. The source gives the fermentation as lasting 6 months.
Ageing
The wine is aged for at least 9 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, then further in bottle.
Tasting profile
Delicate aroma and a deep, well-balanced palate with a complex character. Mature, complex tannins give the wine power and elegance. Orange hues become more pronounced with age.
Serving and pairing
Suited to braised meat and cured meats. The 2020 is ready to drink now and also has good ageing potential.
Label / history
The Sordo family has grown grapes since 1912 and is now in its fourth generation.
