Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Museum release. Direct from the cellars landed end 2024.I've had the pleasure of devouring most of the 2013 Crus from Sordo, but never the Barolo Classico until now. A great summary of this vintage. This wine typically has a significant La Mora component and it shows in the pure, plush red fruits of great transparency and lick of chocolate. A wonderful perfume lifts from the glass on opening. Just shifting into a nice place, building secondary development. Layers of earthy, truffled, slatey

The perfect and some what more affordable introduction to the wines of Ornellaia.For a long time I was unconvinced wines made from French varieties made in Italy. One wine stands out as changing my mind, 1990 Ornellaia, thanks Lou!Beautifully balanced and poised it was poured at an open wine night where the only criterion was that it had to be bloody good!54% Merlot 28% Cabernet Sauvignon 14% Cabernet France 4% Petit VerdotThe 2019 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is delicate,

New Cuvée from 2021 – A parcel in chaume worked separately. This terroir is often used for sweet wines. Makes a great dry according to Thomas (...and Me!) highlighting again the importance of the flavour and phenolics from the skins.Yields of just 15-20Hl/Ha from very old vines give us a wine that is a delight in the glass! Half to ⅓ of DRC's yields! Fermentation in new wood aged in the same wood for 1 year then 5 months in stainless. This is the same as for the Bastingage.F

Barrel Selection "AP: 15 21. The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** - 24 - was made from 40% botrytized fruit picked at 115° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (120 g/l). It offers a still rather backward nose made of smoky elements and only faint scents of melon, pineapple, apricot, and herbs. The wine is hugely racy and beautifully focused on the palate and leaves a mouthwatering feel of herbs, faint flavors of subtly exotic fruits, and spices in

The Contrada ChiappaManiche has 90-year-old vines and is located midway up the volcanic cone at 550 meters in elevation. The Passopisciaro 2022 Contrada C shows a very specific character with a pronounced mineral note that cedes to blue and black fruits and fresh blooming violet. These two sides of the wine play against each other to add pretty contrasts and intensity. This elegant wine spends 18 months in oak. Some 4,000 bottles were released.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 94 Points

The Highest Elevation Contrada owned by Passopisciaro making delicious Ethereal wines!  The 2022 Contrada Rampante is intense, wafting up with all of the volcanic ash and stones that make up its soils, complicated by grilled herbs and citrus-laced blackberries. This is surprisingly juicy and energetic in feel, with a wave of vibrantly ripe red and blue fruits that swirl throughout as tactile minerals collect toward the close. It finishes with teeth-coating tannins and concentration, lea
