Why shop with us?
Brezza Barolo Sarmassa 2021 is a refined single-vineyard Barolo that showcases the elegance and structure Nebbiolo can achieve in one of the appellation’s most respected crus. Sourced from the Sarmassa vineyard in Barolo, it combines classic Piedmont character with the precision and depth that have made Brezza a benchmark producer in the region.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a transparent garnet hue with youthful ruby reflections at the rim. The nose is lifted and complex, with aromas of rose petal, sour cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, licorice, and a subtle earthy note that reflects its Barolo origin.
On the palate, expect firm but polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a layered core of red berries, spice, tea leaf, and mineral nuance. The wine is built for patience and should gain additional harmony and aromatic complexity with age, rewarding cellaring over the medium to long term.
Production
Brezza’s Sarmassa vineyard lies in the Barolo commune, where calcareous marl soils and an elevated Piedmont terroir help shape a wine of fragrance, structure, and finesse. Nebbiolo is harvested by hand to preserve fruit integrity, and the vinification follows a traditional approach designed to express site and vintage rather than excessive oak influence.
Food & Serving
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich, flavorful dishes such as truffle risotto, braised beef, roast lamb, game, and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours, especially in its youth, to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.
Producer
Brezza is one of Barolo’s historic family producers and has long been respected for its traditional style and commitment to expressing vineyard character. Based in the heart of Piedmont, the estate has helped define the classic side of Barolo and is known for wines that balance authenticity, finesse, and aging potential.
