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.
