Barolo DOCG - Monprivato - Sordo 2019

The Barolo DOCG Monprivato by Sordo is a gem in the landscape of Piedmontese wines. This wine represents a pure and refined expression of the Nebbiolo grape variety, cultivated in one of the most prestigious areas of Barolo, the Monprivato vineyard located in the commune of Castiglione Falletto.

With an intense garnet-red color, the Barolo Monprivato by Sordo offers a complex and enveloping bouquet on the nose. At first impact, aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums emerge, followed by more evolved notes of chocolate, tobacco, and leather, enriched by a light touch of menthol and sweet spices. These aromas are the result of a meticulous winemaking process followed by aging in oak barrels, which imparts an elegant and composed structure to the wine.

On the palate, the Barolo Monprivato stands out for its robustness and, at the same time, its harmony. The tannins, well-present but finely crafted, support a full and enveloping sip. The freshness and acidity are perfectly balanced, leading the wine to a long and persistent finish, with a lingering aftertaste reminiscent of spices and a pleasant slight bitterness.

This wine is ideal for accompanying rich and structured dishes like braised meats, stews, and aged cheeses. The complexity and elegance of the Barolo DOCG Monprivato by Sordo also make it perfect for enjoying on its own, as a moment of pure oenological contemplation.

It is recommended to decant the wine for at least an hour before tasting to best enhance its qualities. It is a wine that can be appreciated immediately but also has great aging potential, evolving in complexity and nuances over the years.
