Sordo was founded in 1912 by Giuseppe Sordo, the present owner’s grandfather, and is now under the guidance of its third generation, Giorgio Sordo, with his daughter Paola by his side. Situated in the district of Castiglione Falleto and overlooking the slopes of La Morra, Sordo is unique in that it bottles 8 Barolo Cru wines, the only producer able to do this in the entire region.
As well as bottling traditional varieties such as Dolcetto and Barbera, they also produce the peppery Verduno Pelaverga, one of the smallest DOCs in Italy. The whites comprise the region’s historic Arneis, along with Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, which as well as being bottled separately go to make the captivating Rapujè Bianco. They also produce a Barbaresco from several plots in Barbaresco, Treiso and Neive.3 hectares, covering the areas of Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d’Alba, Monforte d’Alba, Barolo, Novello, La Morra, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour and Vezza d’Alba. Tradition and terroir lay at the heart
of Sordo. Giorgio makes wine in a very similar way to his grandfather; after a gentle pressing and fermentation at around 30C, the wines continue to macerate for around 40 to 50 days, after which they are matured in large Slovenian oak barrels, which range from 50hl to 120hl and are used to preserve the unique essence of each cru.

Sordo Barolo Ravera Riserva 2006
14.5% abv
To the eye, it is rich in color. The bouquet has an overtone of greenness with hints of mountain hay and autumn leaves. Nuances of fresh fruit, small fruit, tobaccoand sweet spices often join its decided vinosity. A well structured, very balanced wine in its acidity and tannicity. It keeps its vinosity as it comes round; it’s harmony, freshness, and value increase. It is a very ageable wine.
The vineyard is planted in one of the most beautiful places in the municipality of Novello. Wine country, and quite coveted. From vines of 20 years old grwon at altitudes of up to 450 metres. Once selected the grapes undergo crushing and destemming. Vinification with fermentation in stainless steel temperature controlled vats with long submerged-cap maceration for between 4 and 7 weeks. Natural malolactic fermentation at temperature 20°, the wine is then transferred into stainless steel for 2-4 months. The wine is then transferred to large Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months. Before bottling the wine spends a further 6 months in stainless steel for refinement.
Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology. The municipalities in the Barolo production area are: La Morra, Monforte, Serralunga d’Alba (with its exceptionally well-preserved medieval military fortress), Castiglio Falletto (its symbol, a round medieval tower, is private property just like the manor), Novello, Grinzane Cavour. Verduno, Diano d’Alba, Cherasco and Roddi.
