The story behind Cordone
Barolo is the great red of Italy's Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo and grown on the rolling Langhe hills around the town of Barolo. The wines are pale in color but firm and structured, with rose, tar, red cherry and dried herb notes and tannins that reward a few years in bottle. Young Barolo can feel tight, so decant it or pour it with food.
Cordone is a small label for us. We stock just a bottle or two at a time in Commack, so call ahead if you want one held.
