Cordero Barolo DOCG 2012
About the wine
Delicate and subtle Italian red that's drinking beautifully!
- This soft, brooding Barolo is a Mediterranean dream. Full of ruby red fruit flavor, with layer upon layer of caramel-tinged oak and...are those olives? Or are we just wishing we were basking in warm Italian sun?
- You've been crying out for an unabashed Barolo for as long as we can remember. And here it is- all the way from the picture-perfect vineyards of Piedmont. REAL top shelf stuff that Italians don't want to give away.
- It's no secret that Barolo would normally see you handing over lotsa cash. But thanks to Angel funding - you get world class wine at a fair price. Grab yourself a bottle and faceplant into a bowl of rich and creamy mushroom risotto.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gianfranco & Serena Cordero
Years Angel-funded: 2014-18
- This father and daughter combo are mega-qualified Italian winemakers and consultants who make beautiful Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and Arneis wines from Piedmont.
- They started producing their own wine in 2006 when they decided to take on Serena's grandfather Teresio's vineyard so they could keep on working in his memory, and let their land be known all over the world.
- Gianfranco is one of the reasons Barolo is known as the King of Wines, and - with the help of Angel funding - Serena is ushering in a new generation of northern Italian wines with balance, elegance and flavor.
