Marchesi Di Barolo Sarmassa Barolo 2019

The 2019 Marchesi di Barolo Sarmassa is a prestigious single-vineyard expression that epitomizes the power and elegance of the Sarmassa cru. This vintage presents a concentrated bouquet of Marasca cherries, forest fruits, and dried rose petals, layered with complex undertones of licorice, tobacco, and pine resin. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, featuring the classic firm tannins and vibrant acidity characteristic of high-altitude Nebbiolo. The finish is remarkably long and savory, showing great potential for evolution over the next two decades.

94 Points - James Suckling

Violets and cool strawberries with some raspberries on the nose. Medium body, with firm and silky tannins that give a minerality to the blue fruit character. Give it time to blossom. Try after 2027.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

A broad style, this red features cherry, raspberry, earth, tar, eucalyptus and tobacco aromas and flavors. Solidly built, complex and balanced, with the earth and tar elements stretching out on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2043.
