'The latest of the Produttori's Cru wines, it first saw the light of day in 1978. A ripe, silky fruit and an important structure emerge on the palate.

The vineyard is a long, South/West exposed hillside in the southern part of the Barbaresco village, not far from the river.
The light limestone soil with relatively low calcium content compared to other areas of Barbaresco produces wines where tannins are never dominant, instead they show a silky quality on the palate that makes them extremely attractive and seductive, never imposing, always elegant. Behind the smooth elegance however, lies a core of powerful structure and very well balanced tannins that give to the Rio Sordo its complexity and longevity. First produced as a single vineyard by Produttori del Barbaresco in 1978.'
