2020, Sarmassa, Barolo, Brezza

A muscular yet elegant Barolo with complex aromas and a structured palate.

About the Winery: The Brezza family owns 12.5 hectares of vines in Barolo, with their estate certified organic since 2015. Winemaker Enzo Brezza follows a traditional approach with minimal intervention, bottling many wines with glass Vinolok closures to maintain freshness and purity.

Grape Variety: 100% Nebbiolo – known for producing elegant yet structured wines with complex aromas of red fruits, floral notes, and firm tannins, developing further complexity with age; classic “tar and roses” character with cherry, rose, violet, orange peel, and truffle nuances.

Appearance: Pale to medium garnet with an orange-brick rim that intensifies with age; good clarity and a lighter hue despite pronounced tannins.

Aroma: Complex aromas of red fruits layered with leather, liquorice, violet, and subtle herbal notes, with classic tar-and-rose hints.

Palate: Well-flavoured and gamey, with a beautifully balanced structure, firm tannins, a fruity mid-palate, and great length.

Body: Full – this wine is described as muscular and structured, indicating a substantial presence on the palate.

Acidity: Medium – contributes to the wine's balance and length, preventing it from being overly heavy despite its full body.

Cellaring Potential: Long (10-20 yrs) – the wine's firm tannins and structured nature suggest excellent ageing potential, allowing it to develop further complexity over time.

Perfect Pairing: Red Meat, Game, Hard Cheese

Serving Temperature: 15–16°C for reds
