Barolo DOCG “Gabutti” 2011 – Sordo
£54.90
Its deep garnet red color reflects its maturity and evolution. The nose reveals an intense bouquet, where dried rose petals blend with ripe cherries and raspberries. Hints of white pepper, tobacco, and earthy notes add complexity.
On the palate, the wine delivers fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins, creating a smooth yet structured mouthfeel. Crisp red cherry, wild berries, grilled herbs, and tobacco emerge, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. This age-worthy Barolo pairs beautifully with roasts, game meats, and aged cheeses. With its depth and balance, it will continue to evolve and gain complexity over time, making it an excellent choice for collectors and fine wine lovers.

Barolo DOCG "Gabutti" 2011, Why We Love It and Why You'll Too
Barolo holds its legendary status for a reason. It is the King of Wines and the Wine of Kings, a title earned through centuries of excellence.
At a recent tasting, six of us gathered with Paola, the fourth generation of the Sordo family. We explored the Ravera, Parussi, Perno, Monprivato, and Gabutti crus. Each wine revealed its unique personality, making it impossible to agree on a favorite. Barolo DOCG Gabutti 2011 stood out for its complexity and elegance. Still, one fact was clear: Sordo produces outstanding Barolo.
Barolo – Piedmont’s Iconic Wine
Piedmont’s most famous red, comes from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. It is known for its “tar and roses” aroma, bright ruby color that fades to garnet, firm tannins, and vibrant acidity.
To be labeled Barolo DOCG, the wine must age for at least 38 months, including 18 in oak barrels. The Riserva version requires 62 months of aging. Over time, Barolo develops earthy complexity, truffle notes, and dark chocolate hints. Its longevity and evolving depth make it one of the world’s most sought-after wines.
SORDO | A Legacy of Excellence
