The Azienda Agricola Giovanni Sordo is to be found in the heart of the well-known Barolo region, in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto – just few kilometers away from Alba. It’s a family-run winery, between the third and the fourth generation, now in the capable hands of Giorgio – Giovanni’s son. The estate was founded in 1912 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’s story – bought several vineyards of Nebbiolo for Barolo. Sordo is unique: it is the only existing winery which can boast 8 different kinds of Barolo – the crus – whose vineyards are located in the areas of 5 different municipalities in the Barolo wine district. Only last generations equipments for the fermentation, storage and bottling are used at Sordo’s, together with a huge cellar – 135 big barrels from 50 to 120 hl – to ensure a perfect maturation and aging of the wine.  Every single step of the production – from the vineyards to the cellar – follows exactly the process given by the tradition – which has been the mainstay of the family ever since. Since 2014 Sordo built a new cellar with a amazing tasting room, a showroom – where you can discover and buy all the amazing wines with all the ranges of Barolo, from young to vintaged Riserve until 1990 – and a production line completely total automatic accessibile to the visitor.
