Note di degustazione
Clear and precise. Fresh red cherries and plums with more oak on the palate. This is very elegant and feminine with a vibrancy and poise. On the finish there is more typical tar, earthy, chocolate notes. The tannins are chewy, but approachable.

The 2004 Barolo Sarmassa possesses more vibrancy, depth and freshness than the Cannubi. A powerful, fleshy Barolo, it offers plenty of dark cherries, plums, spices, tar and menthol, with an engaging personality. The tannins remain quite firm, so additional bottle age seems warranted, but this is a very promising effort. The Sarmassa is slightly more feminine than the Bricco Sarmassa, yet quite beautiful all the same.

This is a very strong set of Barolos from Brezza, a producer who has ratcheted up their quality significantly over the last few years. The wines are aged in cask, which results in a traditional expression of Nebbiolo aromas and flavors that requires at least a few years of bottle age to emerge. A recent bottle of the estate’s 1978 Barolo Riserva Speciale was indeed quite special. Importer: An Acid Inc. Selection for Angels' Share Wines, Brooklyn, NY; tel. (917) 687-4848
