Sordo was founded in 1912 by Giuseppe Sordo, the present owner’s grandfather, and is now under the guidance of it's 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.

Sordo Roero Arneis 2020
13% abv
Extremely delicate straw-yellow colour with pale green highlights. It’s aroma is full, fragrant, with hints of fresh fruit, acacia flowers and honey. The flavour is dry, harmonious, full-bodied and markedly rich. It goes well both with appetizers and mild flavoured dishes, like white risottos,or with asparagus, gnocchi alla bava, and fish without sauces.
From the sandy hills of Roero, to the left of the Tanaro River, come wines with intense and delicate aromas, rich in tang from the very composition of the soil. From 10 year old vines grown at altitudes of 230-260 metres. Once picked the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed before vinification in stainless steel. The wine spends 3 months on the lees befroe a further 3 months in bottle prior to release.
