Barolo Monvigliero DOCG 2019 - Sordo

A 2019 Barolo from Sordo, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Monvigliero cru, where the rows face fully south. The wine matures for two years in large Slavonian oak barrels. It is structured and warm on the palate, slightly sapid, with well-worked tannins. The colour is a luminous garnet that turns orange with age. It pairs with red meat or game, and drinks well now, though it will also reward at least a decade of patience. The nose is broad and complex, with withered rose, strawberry and wild cherry, then tertiary notes of undergrowth, spice and sweet tobacco. The finish is balanced and long.
