Tasting Notes

Voerzio’s 2006 Barolo Sarmassa (magnum) literally explodes on the palate with red fruit, flowers, spices and mint. Still tightly wound, the 2006 is an especially powerful Sarmassa that isn’t quite as accessible as it often is at this stage. Still, the wine’s bouquet, purity of fruit and persistence all augur for a long life of magnificent drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.

Offers lovely sweet fruit, sporting cherry, floral and licorice flavors with hints of eucalyptus and tar. Though fleshy, this is backed by firm tannins and bright acidity, picking up mineral accents on the lingering finish. Best from 2013 through 2032. 30 cases imported.
