Scarzello Barolo Sarmassa Vigna Merenda 2022

Scarzello Barolo Sarmassa Vigna Merenda 2022 is a beautifully site-driven Barolo that showcases the depth, perfume, and structure Nebbiolo can achieve in one of Piedmont’s most respected crus. From the historic Sarmassa area in Barolo, it offers the kind of precision and authenticity collectors look for in classic Langhe wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright garnet hue with youthful ruby reflections, hinting at its energy and finesse. The nose is lifted and layered, with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, wild strawberry, spice, and subtle earthy notes that unfold with air. On the palate, expect a firm but elegant structure, fine-grained tannins, and vibrant acidity carrying flavors of sour cherry, dried herbs, licorice, and mineral nuances. Like most serious Barolo, it has excellent aging potential and should continue to gain complexity over the coming years, developing deeper savory and tertiary notes with time.

Production
Made from Nebbiolo grown in the Sarmassa cru, the wine reflects the limestone- and clay-rich soils of Barolo, which help bring both power and aromatic precision to the finished wine. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve fruit quality, then vinified with careful maceration and traditional cellar practices designed to capture varietal character and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This Barolo is an excellent match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, truffle risotto, roast lamb, game, and aged hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours when young to help soften the tannins and open the bouquet.

Producer
Scarzello Giorgio & Figli is a respected family producer in Barolo with a strong reputation for crafting traditional, terroir-focused wines that reflect the character of their vineyards. Their work in the Sarmassa area highlights the estate’s commitment to quality and its place among the region’s classic producers, with wines appreciated for their balance, structure, and sense of place.
