Sordo Barolo Monvigliero 2021

One of the warmest Barolo crus and fast becoming one of the most sought-after (you know it’s hot property when Vietti starts buying land here). Red liquorice, iodine, a distinctly ferrous component to an otherwise pretty exterior. Charcuterie and hung meat, black cherry and cherry pip. As the importer said “this is everyone’s idea of Barolo: red stuff, dark stuff mystifying stuff.” I love it. – Ches Cook, FWC.
