A true expert of wine marketing like Paul Wagner often says that to become an icon for wine enthusiasts a wine has to make them fall in love first. It has to pleasantly touch your palate and nose, but also your heart. This is what happened with Barolo Monvigliero 2012 by Sordo Giovanni winery, in our opinion one of the best of its category. This Barolo is made from a cru, Monvigliero, among the most important and historically renowned of its designation. We are just few miles away from Alba, in the municipality of Verduno, in a vineyard located at 280-350 mt above sea level. The perfect location to produce a well balanced and elegant Barolo. A wine everyone agrees on, the firmest traditionalists as well as the innovetors, which demonstrate we are in front of one of the most suited territory of our Country. We can smell clear and elegant fruity notes, cherry above all, but also rose and violet. Spicy notes ar evident too, such as cloves and rose pepper. In mouth it tastes worm and powerful, but not too strong, that makes it incredibly easy to enjoy with a number of possible food pairings. We decided to pair it with cold cuts and cheese and we “complained” we only had two bottles.
