More questions
Sarmassa Barolo DOCG from Brezza in magnum format presents a broad, vertical aromatic profile, typical of Nebbiolo: scents of dried rose, ripe cherry and light spicy notes join hints of tobacco and forest floor. The palate is elegant and structured, with tannins that are firmly present yet polished, lively acidity and a balance that supports the progression. The persistence is substantial without being rough, showing a beautiful depth that invites a little aeration.
The magnum bottle is ideal for more stable storage and for convivial occasions in which the wine can develop slowly; serve at around 18°C and open in advance if young. It pairs with red meats, braised dishes, game birds and aged cheeses; it also works well with long-cooked dishes. Suitable for those looking for a classic Barolo, endowed with structure and ageing potential, capable of giving pleasure already today and greater complexity with a few years in the cellar.

The story
The Brezza family has owned vineyards in Barolo since 1885; the company name comes from Giacomo Brezza and the first documented bottling dates to the early 20th century. The business has remained family-run and has developed by preserving the historic cellars while combining tradition with some technological interventions in winemaking.
Production philosophy
Enhancing the crus and the Langhe territory, prioritizing winemaking that respects the grapes' characteristics: a traditional approach for the great reds and stainless-steel vinification for the fresher styles. Cultivation is oriented toward organic farming, as evidenced by the company's certification.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery is located in the municipality of Barolo, Piedmont. Its estate vineyards include parcels within the MGA of Cannubi, Castellero and Sarmassa; there are also vineyard plots in other municipalities of the Langhe such as Monforte d'Alba, Novello and in the area between Alba and Diano d'Alba.
Awards and recognition
Recognition and ratings from specialist publications: for example, very positive evaluations by Vinous for Barolo and notable reviews in publications such as Falstaff and Decanter.
