Sordo Dolcetto D’Alba 2020

12.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Ruby red colour with violet nuances that attenuate over time; delicate, floral, intense, full and lingering aromas; fresh flavour, fruity, full, complex, dry and harmonious.

From 25-30 year old vines planted in Castiglione Falletto and La Morra grown at 300 metres of altitude. Once picked, the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed with a week long submerged cap maceration extracting a beautiful colour and tannin. The wine is vinified in stainless steel at controlled temperatures of around 25 degrees before 6 months in stainless steel, the wine then spends 3 months in bottle before release.

Each hill, even each vineyard, produces its own particular “Dolcetto”, with well distinguished and easily identifiable characteristics. It is thanks to the special mineralrich soil composition of the Langhe area, if the Dolcetto from these areas – in addition to a remarkable structure – has a vinosity and a great richness of flavours and aromas that contradistinguish and characterise it.

Sordo was founded in 1912 by Giuseppe Sordo, the present owner’s grandfather, and is now under the guidance of its third generation, Giorgio Sordo, with his daughter Paola by his side. Situated in the district of Castiglione Falleto and overlooking the slopes of La Morra, Sordo is unique in that it bottles 8 Barolo Cru wines, the only producer able to do this in the entire region.
As well as bottling traditional varieties such as Dolcetto and Barbera, they also produce the peppery Verduno Pelaverga, one of the smallest DOCs in Italy. The whites comprise the region’s historic Arneis, along with Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, which as well as being bottled separately go to make the captivating Rapujè Bianco. They also produce a Barbaresco from several plots in Barbaresco, Treiso and Neive.3 hectares, covering the areas of Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d’Alba, Monforte d’Alba, Barolo, Novello, La Morra, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour and Vezza d’Alba. Tradition and terroir lay at the heart
of Sordo. Giorgio makes wine in a very similar way to his grandfather; after a gentle pressing and fermentation at around 30C, the wines continue to macerate for around 40 to 50 days, after which they are matured in large Slovenian oak barrels, which range from 50hl to 120hl and are used to preserve the unique essence of each cru.
