Paola Sordo

The Sordo Family has been tending and producing wines for more than one century. The company was established at the beginning of the 19th century by the great-father Giuseppe, but the real turn over came with his son Giovanni who together with his wife Maria, the real witness of the family story – bought several vineyards of Nebbiolo for Barolo – the Sorì in Piedmonteses language – among the best in the Barolo wine district.

The Sordo estate is to be found in the heart of one of the most successful winegrowing areas in Piedmont – the Langhe – in between the municipalities of Castiglione Falletto and Barolo. The winery is modern and uses the latest technology a combination of tradition and innovation, its aim is to achieve the highest quality in each step of the production: from the harvest to the aging of the wine.

Paola Sordo – Barolo DOCG

Garnet red with orange nuances getting more evident as times goes by; delicate, ethereal, intense, full and lingering bouquet; warm, full, complex, dry and harmonious taste. Ripe tannins and good complexity.

“Aromas of ripe red berries and hints of grainy earth, rose petals and citrus rind. Full-bodied, and densely packed with fine, lightly chewy tannins and very good fruit drive from start to finish. Well done. Delicious to taste now, but needs a few years. Best from 2023.” – James Suckling on vintage 2017 – 93 pts.

Paola Sordo – Gavi DOCG

A still wine with a pale, straw-yellow gleam, our 100% Cortese proffers delicate flower and fruit sensations with notes of linden blossom and peach. On the palate the wine is subtle, elegant and refined. Crisp and zesty, with a balanced and lingering finish. Excellent as an aperitif or as a companion to brunch; with first or second courses of fish and vegetables, poultry or pork, anything soused, delicate charcuterie (lardo, sweet prosciutto, cooked salame) and fresh or semi-ripe cheeses (both soft or stretched-curd).

VINTAGE 2018

Paola Sordo – Barbaresco DOCG

Transparent ruby-red colour tending to garnet with aging. The nose expresses great elegance and finesse, with floral notes of violets and red berries, ethereal notes and delicate spiced nuances.
On the palate it is balanced and full-bodied with velvet tannins and a pleasant freshness. Its finishing is long and lingering. This wine has good potential for aging and reaches the maturity only after 5-10 years of aging.
