Description
"From the legendary Sarmassa cru comes a profound expression that demands contemplation. The reserved initial profile unfolds like ancient tea leaves steeped in blood orange essence, revealing layers of complexity. Dried cherries seem awakened spiced and rehydrated while potpourri notes add ethereal lift. The palate moves with measured grace, each element in perfect alignment, revealing the true nobility of Nebbiolo. Here is power clothed in silk, depth without weight, a wine that speaks of place with crystalline clarity. A masterwork that reminds us why Barolo can move the soul. Drink Now until forever" - 98 points, Jeff Porter
"The winemaking system is one very close to the traditional method for Nebbiolo from Barolo, with a difference in the length of maceration which in this case is generally higher because the grapes have usually softer tannins." - Brezza
"The 2021 Barolo Sarmassa is a dark, imposing wine. Black cherry, lavender, cloves, new leather, incense and licorice add to an impression of virile power. This somber, deep Barolo has a lot to offer once the tannins soften. Shades of its power, breadth and textural resonance start to open with time in the glass. The Sarmassa is a wine for readers who can wait." - 94 points, Antonio Galloni
