Descrizione

Barolo DOCG - Sarmassa - Brezza is an expression of great prestige and character of the Nebbiolo grape, produced by the historic Brezza winery, located in the heart of Barolo, Piedmont. The winery, founded in 1885, is known for its respectful approach to the territory and for the production of wines that authentically express the character of the terroir of origin. The "Sarmassa" vineyard is particularly appreciated for its exceptional position and its unique microclimate, which contribute to giving life to a Barolo of remarkable structure and depth.

This Barolo Sarmassa stands out for its garnet red color, typical of the great Nebbiolos, with orange reflections that develop with aging. On the nose, the wine offers a complex and fascinating bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits, dried flowers, tobacco and spices, enriched with earthy and mineral nuances that reflect the uniqueness of the Sarmassa soil.

On the palate, the Barolo DOCG Sarmassa di Brezza reveals itself to be rich and powerful, with robust but elegant tannins, and a well-balanced acidity that gives freshness and length to the sip. The flavors are consistent with the olfactory notes, evolving towards a persistent and intensely flavored finish, characterized by considerable complexity and an inviting mineral vein.

Ideal in combination with intense and structured dishes, such as roasted red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, Barolo Sarmassa is also a perfect wine for special occasions and for meditation, capable of evolving and improving considerably with age. aging, revealing new nuances and depths over time.

Winery history

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
