Sordo Giovanni Barolo 2019

Description

Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology. The municipalities in the Barolo production area are: La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Serralunga d’Alba (with its exceptionally well-preserved medieval military fortress), Castiglione Falletto (its symbol, a round medieval tower, is private property just like the manor), Novello, Grinzane Cavour, Verduno, Diano d’Alba, Cherasco and Roddi.
