How to serve it
Tasting notes
Deep garnet red. The nose shows ripe black cherry, plum, dried rose, liquorice and balsamic notes of a mature Nebbiolo. On the palate the fruit is ripe and silky, carried by an imposing tannic structure and fresh acidity, with a long, warm finish of spice and dried fruit. Drinking well now and for many years to come.
About this wine
Rio Sordo is the most recent addition to the single-vineyard range of Produttori del Barbaresco, the celebrated cooperative of the village of Barbaresco, which has bottled it as a separate cru since 1978. The vineyards of the Rio Sordo MGA lie on clay-limestone soils with veins of sand.
As with all the cooperative's Riservas, the Nebbiolo ferments in stainless steel at 30 °C with a 28-day maceration on the skins and malolactic fermentation, followed by at least 30 months in large oak casks of 25–50 hectolitres and bottling in June.
The 2015 vintage, warm and generous in the Langhe, gives a Rio Sordo with ripe, silky fruit on the palate combined with an imposing structure built for long ageing.
