Tasting notes
Barolo. Poured from magnum. Youthful, compact and reluctant but with a hugely concentrated fruit palate and without being heavy or rustic. (WS)

Darker and rounder than the Sarmassa, the 2001 Barolo Bricco Sarmassa, displays a deep nose of spices and menthol, with more extraction as well as a more masculine personality, offering notes of sweet dark fruit and tar with good overall length and balance. A special selection from the Sarmassa vineyard, made only in the best vintages.
