SARMASSA
10 years - Barolo DOCG

Sarmassa is located on a south-eastern facing slope. Despite the fact that the surrounding area originated in the Tortonian era, from a geological perspective, significant soil erosion due to the steep slope of the hill, caused the soil to take on the typical characteristics of the Helvetian period. Therefore, it is composed mainly of clay and limestone and has a very substantial percentage of stones. The significant quantity of stones, combined with clay, limits the growth of the Nebbiolo grape and prepares the vines to react quickly to climatic variations, enabling clusters to ripen perfectly.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERS
Deep garnet red color with elegant ruby nuances. The bouquet is intense, with distinct traces of wild rose, licorice, cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as delicate pine resin aromas. The taste is rich, elegant and full-bodied. The tannins, still present but tame, blend well with an important and persuasive structure. A unique experience that is worth a ten-year wait...
GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS
It goes well with traditional egg pastas from the Langhe (tajarin and Angolotti del Plin), with roasts, boiled meats, braised meats and game. It is ideal for sipping alongside goat cheeses and hard ripened cheeses.
