Sordo Barolo Parussi DOCG 2018

A 2018 Barolo from Sordo, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Parussi cru, a natural amphitheatre on the hill that runs from Castiglione Falletto down towards the road to Alba. The wine rests for two years in large Slavonian oak barrels. It is austere and elegant, generous, warm and balanced. Red meat and game suit it well, such as roast venison with potatoes. In the glass it is an intense garnet red. The nose is ethereal and fruity, with tertiary notes of spice, tobacco and undergrowth. The palate is full and balanced, with well-worked tannins, a savoury edge and a long finish.
