Sorì della Sorba

Sorì della Sorba stands out even in a region as beautiful as Piedmont, not only aesthetically, but for the sense of tranquillity that prevails here. The estate’s 3.7 hectares occupy a south-facing amphitheatre encircled by woodland, high in the hills above Diano d’Alba.

The project was established by Giovanna Bagnasco of Agricola Brandini in La Morra and Carlo Mondavi, the man behind Sonoma’s RAEN winery. Sorì della Sorba is today managed by Giovanna and her sister Serena who lives in a house overlooking the vineyards.

Drawing on Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera vines up to fifty years old, Sorì della Sorba is the source of two exquisite reds. Solo per Amore is a playful, juicy Dolcetto-lead blend of the three varietals, while the flagship cuvée ‘Sorì della Sorba’ (100% Nebbiolo), is equally fresh and expressive, but with a little extra grip and concentration. Both are made with a judiciously high-proportion of whole-bunches and raised in neutral Slavonian oak casks.
