The family holds an insane collection of elite-level cru vineyard sites covering the townships of Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d\u2019Alba, Monforte d\u2019Alba, Barolo, Novello, La Morra, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour and Vezza d\u2019Alba and they are the only existing Piedmontese winery that can boast offerings from eight different specific Crus. \u00a0 We enjoy showing wines from Sordo side by side, as Sordo&#8217;s \u201cnaked\u201d approach to winemaking means marked differences in the characteristics of each site (you\u2019ll never see a barrique inside these walls). Take a look at the video below and you\u2019ll see what we are talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Grape we love selling some older wine and as you&#8217;d guess we asked Giorgio about older vintages, both large and regular format. To our surprise there are plenty of options on that front! If you are an active wholesale customer of ours you can expect a craaazy back vintage pre-arrival offering this week&#8230;including the below bottlings, all of which are singing right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sordo Barolo Riserva DOCG 2006 Monvigliero<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02005\u00a0Rocche di Castiglione<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02005\u00a0Perno<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02005\u00a0Gabutti<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02005\u00a0Parussi<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02005\u00a0Ravera<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02005\u00a0Monvigliero<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02004\u00a0Rocche di Castiglione<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02004\u00a0Gabutti<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02003\u00a0Rocche di Castiglione<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02003\u00a0Perno<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02003\u00a0Gabutti<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02001\u00a0Rocche di Castiglione<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02001\u00a0Perno<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a02001\u00a0Gabutti<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sordo\u00a0Barolo Riserva DOCG\u00a01999\u00a0Gabutti<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:900px;\" data-autoplay=\"1\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XEkWfbYpWdc?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay;
