Barolo Sarmassa

Medium

Cork

From this notoriously cool, humid and rainy vintage comes a fluid and slinky Sarmassa, whose aromas of strawberry and fresh fig are wrapped in wisps of smoke. As the wine enters your mouth, it gives up some floral notes too, before surging forth on a wave of hyper fresh and cool blue acidity. It's firm and muscular, its shoulders a little pointy and jostling. Autumnal touches of dried leaves, tobacco, tar and orange peel linger into the finish. This is a limited edition late-release version of Marchesi di Barolo's Sarmassa cuvée, which has been stored in bottle in pristine conditions in the estate's cellars for 10 years before release. Only 250 bottles are released each year.
