Barolo Monprivato

Full

Cork

Sordo is the only other estate besides Giuseppe Mascarello to bottle a Barolo from the lauded Monprivato MGA, using a small plot of vines planted in the 1960s. Pronounced floral aromas of rose and plum blossoms lead to a raspberry compote core, while wet stone minerals and chopped garden herbs surge on the palate with an earthy underscore. There is a subtle chew, but elegance is the overriding character, and sandy-textured tannins dissolve readily. Appetisingly sappy and sapid on the finish; ready to enjoy.
