The Story
The 2016 Giovanni Sordo Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is described as a rich, dark-fruited wine with a good grip from silty-earthy tannins and cool acidity. It offers notes of licorice, ripe fruit, and sweet spices, with a full flavor, marked acidity, and a tannic weave that evolves and balances with maturation. It's a full-bodied Barolo that requires time to open up and showcase its complex fruit and earthiness, with flavors of red cherries, plums, tobacco, and truffle. The wine is also noted for its vibrant color, persistent bouquet, and long, harmonious finish.
