Open-knit aromatics make a strong first impression. Layered and resonant in the glass, with tons of supporting structure, the Rio Sordo is going to need a few years to come into its own. Crushed rose petal, cedar, spice and tobacco lend notable finesse. The 2021 needs time, but it’s got the goods. The explosive, aromatic finish is sublime. Drink 2027-2041 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e96\/100 Vinous, Antonio Galloni\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRio Sordo is famous for its noble rusticity and silky quality in the mouth thanks to lower calcium levels in the soils of this vineyard. The wine develops gamey mushroom qualities over time that scream out for it to be served with a decent roast beast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRio Sordo is one of the great red wines of Italy and is made entirely from the great structured red grape, Nebbiolo; exceptional in taste, complexity and its ability to age for at least a decade, evolving into a silky delicious wine over this time. It's made by the Produttori del Barbaresco. This highly respected winery cooperative was founded in 1958 and now has 51 members who collectively own approximately 100 hectares of the entire appellation, which means they own approximately a seventh of the appellation. The single vineyard wines, such as this one, are only made in highly rated vintages (all of the grapes go into a blend in other years) and released after four years maturation in the riserva programme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll single vineyard cru wines from Produttori del Barbaresco are fermented at 30°C and given 32 days of skin contact time before being pressed in large oak barrels for 36 months of maturation in wood followed by a further nine months aging in bottle, prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"EACH","offer_id":54646712009009,"sku":"34223","price":119.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1968\/6329\/files\/Produttori_20del_20Barbaresco_20Rio_20Sordo_202020_b84a483a-fa24-47a3-8e03-db2cd36fe078.png?v=1781736393","url":"https:\/\/www.regionalwines.co.nz\/products\/produttori-del-barbaresco-rio-sordo-2021","provider":"Regional Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
