The turning point came with the arrival of Giovanni Sordo, Giuseppe’s son, who demonstrated both intuition and ability in acquiring vineyards. From the 1950s on, he chose ideal vineyards, called ‘sorì’ in Piedmontese dialect, suitable for making wines o great quality and prestige. Along with his wife Maria, historical memory of the estate, Giovanni enlarged the cellar and built the current fermentation room during the 1960s. He also purpose-built a space exclusively for the elevage of the prestigious Barolo, in which he placed large, 120 hl oak casks.
In 2001, following the untimely death of Giovanni, his son Giorgio took up the reins of the estate. Thanks to both his father’s teaching and his instilling of the same passion, Giorgio carried on the family tradition. An enthusiast of the added geographical references of Barolo, he reached a great milestone in 2013 producing eight Barolo MGAs for the first time. He dedicated this milestone to his excellent teacher, the oenologist Armando Cordero, a great proponent of Barolo aged in large casks.
The Sordo family women have also have important roles right from since the founding of the estate. At Giuseppe’s side there was Signora Lina, the pioneer, followed by Signora Maria, who for the love of her husband Giovanni, supported as well as documented each important decision. Today, the fourth generation is represented by Paola Sordo, Giorgio’s only daughter. Read more
