Barolo DOCG 2016, Why We Love It and Why You'll Too
This Barolo DOCG 2016 instantly shows why Sordo’s winemaking is simply outstanding. The balance is impeccable; from rich aromas that reveal layers of red fruit, floral notes, and a touch of herbs, to a full-bodied, warm taste that’s both complex and refined. The structured tannins speak to its aging potential, but the harmony is already there in every sip. It’s a true showcase of Sordo’s mastery—an experience.
Barolo
Piedmont’s most famous red wine is made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes.
The famous “tar and roses” aroma, a bright ruby color (which fades to garnet over time), firm tannins, elevated acidity, and relatively high alcohol, define the classic Barolo style.
To earn the name Barolo, the wines must undergo at least 38 months aging prior to commercial release, of which 18 must be spent in barrel (the remainder in bottle). For the added designation of riserva, the total aging time increases to 62 months. As the tannins soften over time, the complexity shows through with hints of earth, truffles and dark chocolate.
