Let's start with the name: Rapujé. It derives from the ancient custom of picking the bunches of grapes forgotten on the vines about fifteen days after the end of the harvest. Then the precious fruit of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera were processed together to create a wine of excellent quality and pleasantly old-fashioned flavor. Sordo re-offers that traditional wine in a modern key. The grapes, harvested when fully ripe, are sent for vinification as soon as they arrive at the winery. The process involves a long extractive maceration, fermentation and malolactic conversion. Then it is time for refinement in wood, as per tradition in large oak barrels. In the glass it is a ruby red wine with violet hues. On the nose it has delicate and floral scents. On the palate, however, the wine is fresh and fruity. A wine as complex as it is dry and harmonious. A glass that from the first sip takes the mind to those good old days.
