Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 16
Voerzio's 2012 Barolo Sarmassa is round, sensual and inviting. Silky tannins and a sheen of new oak give the Sarmassa much of its racy, voluptuous personality. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather flesh out in a succulent, forward Barolo that should drink well with minimal cellaring. Today, the new oak is a bit pronounced, but that should sort itself out with more time in bottle.

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.
