More questions
Sordo's Barolo DOCG is a prestigious red wine celebrated for its excellence and intensity, originating from the renowned hills of Piedmont, Italy. This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, manually harvested from vineyards that benefit from optimal sun exposure and ideal soil conditions, characterized by calcareous marl and sands, which contribute to the wine's distinctive structure and complexity.
On the nose, Sordo's Barolo presents a complex and evocative bouquet, dominated by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, complemented by undertones of wilted rose, tobacco, and spices, like black pepper and cinnamon. This aromatic profile is further enhanced by meticulous aging in oak barrels for at least 24 months, adding elegant hints of vanilla and leather.
On the palate, the wine reveals its great structure and power, balanced by a fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins, promising significant aging potential. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering aftertaste that echoes the aromatic sensations, leaving a warm and enveloping sensation in the mouth.
Sordo's Barolo DOCG is ideal for accompanying rich and structured dishes, such as braised meats, stews, and game, but is equally magnificent enjoyed on its own, as a meditation wine. It is recommended for lovers of Piedmontese wines seeking a Barolo with excellent terroir expression and a strong identity.
Serve at a temperature of 18°C to fully highlight its qualities. Before consumption, it is recommended to decant the wine for at least an hour to allow all its aromatic and taste nuances to express themselves optimally.

The story
The estate is led by the Bricolo family: parents Alberta and Roberto started the business, and it is now managed by their daughter Roberta. According to the winery, it was founded by the parents in 1975; in 2014 the current owners began the conversion to organic viticulture, which resulted in vineyard certification. Over the years the facilities have been expanded with architectural additions focused on hospitality and wine tourism.
Production philosophy
The company's philosophy centers on organic viticulture and sustainability: the organic approach is regarded as an indispensable choice to safeguard health and the land and to enhance the relationship between soil, vine and climate, with winemaking planned already in the vineyard.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located on the moraine hills around the village of Custoza, in the municipality of Sommacampagna, on glacially derived soils rich in pebbles and calcium carbonate, which impart minerality and salinity to the wines, typical of the Lake Garda area.
Awards and recognition
Among the recognitions reported by the press and industry platforms are: Tre Bicchieri for the Custoza 'San Michelin'; international awards such as a Silver Medal and mentions in Decanter for the Custoza Superiore 'Summa'; and Mundus Vini medals for wines such as Ca' Nova.
