Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 17
The 2013 Barolo Sarmassa is the most inward of the 2013 Barolos. Smoke, iron, savory herbs and a host of ferrous notes abound. Powerful and also a bit rough around the edges, the 2013 is very much closed in on itself today. If it softens, the 2013 might merit a higher score, but today it is unyielding, even within the context of young Barolo.

Brezza's 2013 Barolo Sarmassa opens to medium garnet intensity and provides the senses with ample cherry, cassis and cured tobacco. But like this estate's other wines from this vintage, not all its elements line up correctly. You get brief windows onto the wine's potential, but you don't fully get the whole picture.

Barolo. Tasted blind. Maturing mid ruby with orange tinges. Balsamic red fruit nose with hints of smoke. Real depth of fruit lined with bags of fine tannins. Quite stunning balance and powerfully structured. (WS)

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
