Excellent Barolo from a top vintage.
Decanter average score: 95
Besides outstanding Freisa, Dolcetto and Barbera wines, Brezza’s different, site-specific Barolos are standardbearers for Nebbiolo and the DOCG. This Sarmassa from the Barolo 2010 vintage is the biggest and fleshiest, given the cru’s warmer microclimate and higher clay content – in better vintages a Bricco Sarmassa bottling is also made from the best situated vines – neatly distinguishing it from Brezza’s Cannubi Barolo (sleeker due to a higher sand content in the soil) and the Castellero Barolo which falls stylistically between.
Ian D’Agata says: Bright penetrating aromas of red cherry and bergamot. Mounting tannins will require patience before broaching, but this is a promising, well-balanced wine.
Michael Garner says: Broad, fresh, ripe and rosy. Sweet berry fruit with rose and mint perfumes. Fresh, ripe and round with mouthwatering acidity. Very good structure with firm but ripe tannins. Perfumed, floral finish.
