Sordo Barolo Monvigliero 2021

In their words - One of the most well-known and coveted vineyards planted in the municipality of Verduno. Due to its special microclimate, from researchers to experts, this historic vineyard has been considered a grand cru, among the best vineyard terrains in the area.

To the eye, it takes on a quite beautiful color, never too intense, but very stable over time. The bouquet is rich, spacious and quite lingering.  It recalls fresh fruit, small fruit in particular, inner-mouth spiciness, mountain hay and autumn leaves.  Excellent structure; tannins and acids very nicely in step.  IT IS a wine worthy of the fame it has
always enjoyed.  24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.

Critics thoughts -  Up in Verduno now.

Curious, squished berries and a bit stewed in perfume, some wet herb and wet log notes, dried flowers, cinnamon and aniseed characters. The palate quite juicy but for a late slip of drying, chalky tannin. There’s a gloss of blood orange acidity shot through that too; a little peaky right now. It’s feels tight and tense to finish. A little discombobulated now so give it time to resolve its fruit, tannin, acid elements more. 93+ points Mike Bennie WineFront
