Sordo Giovanni Barbaresco 2017
Barbaresco has a long history. The Romans arrived and subdued the Celtic populations that lived there, cut down the forests of sacred oaks in Marte (Martinenga) and planted the vines. Perhaps it wasn’t Nebbiolo yet, but it soon would be, thanks to genetic mutations and a twist of fate. In 1200, it was called “Nebiùl” and original documents testify to its cultivation all the way up to Pinerolo, which shows that this was the Piedmontese grape variety par excellence.

Colour

Bright ruby red colour, fairly transparent, tending towards garnet with ageing.

Bouquet

To the nose, it expresses great elegance and refinement, with floral aromas of violet and small red fruits, estery notes and delicately spiced nuances.

Flavour

On the palate it is balanced and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and nice freshness. The finish is long and lingering.

Pairing

Excellent with roasts, game.
