title: Marchesi di Barolo 2004 Sarmassa  (Barolo)
description: Sarmassa is among Barolo's top vineyard crus with south-facing slopes and white, relatively unfertile soils that help restrict yields. You can taste the evident mineral vein in this Barolo that appears as a dusty afterthought to the wine's aromas of black fruit, pepper and licorice. It's a ripe wine with firm tannins that need to unwind: drink after 2018.
variety: Nebbiolo
designation: Sarmassa
