Sordo Monprivato Barolo 2017

Share

Monprivato is another highly praised cru from the Helvetian soils of Castiglione Falletto and arguably a unique expression of Barolo in Sordo’s range. Showing a slight orange hue besides pale ruby colour, it offers an intensely perfumed and detailed first impression. Plenty of fading rose petals, and a savoury composition of red apple skin, fresh tobacco, cinnamon spice, liquorice and fennel seeds. Juicy cranberry and dark cherry fruit bring energy to the palate. There is an ever so slight warmth, but so joyfully framed with the ripe fruits and sweet, round tannins. Lots going on here and lots to be enjoyed. An intriguing expression of complexity wrapped into inviting approachability!
