Barolo DOCG 'Sarmassa' 2018 (750 ml.) Marchesi di Barolo
The Barolo 'Sarmassa' by Marchesi di Barolo comes from the vineyards located in Sarmassa, a cru facing Southeast, on a steep hillside. The high presence of stones, combined with clay, limits the vegetation of the nebbiolo grape and predisposes the vines to quickly respond to climatic variations, favoring the perfect ripening of the grapes. It matures for at least 18 months in oak barrels of different capacities, allowing the unique qualities to be best enhanced. It completes its aging in the bottle. Intense aroma with clear hints of wild rose, vanilla, licorice, and spices. Subtle notes of pine resin and tobacco. Full and elegant taste, with good body, and prominent tannins. The spiciness and the oaky note blend perfectly.

THE WINE
The Barolo 'Sarmassa' from Marchesi di Barolo comes from the vineyards located in Sarmassa, a cru facing Southeast, on a hillside with a good slope. The high presence of stones, combined with clay, limits the vegetation of the nebbiolo grape and predisposes the vines to quickly respond to climatic variations, favoring the perfect ripening of the bunches. It matures for at least 18 months in oak barrels of different capacities, allowing the peculiar qualities to be enhanced. It completes its aging in the bottle. Intense aroma with a clear scent of wild rose, vanilla, licorice, and spices. Hints of pine resin and tobacco. Full-bodied and elegant taste, with pronounced tannins. The spiciness and the boisé note blend perfectly.
THE COMPANY
Marchesi di Barolo is a winery with a centuries-old history of over 150 years and still represents a symbolic and reference brand in the vast Piedmontese wine world. The winery is located in the municipality of Barolo, a tiny village of less than 700 inhabitants where the extraordinary Castle of the Marchesi stands. It is a centuries-old palace that symbolizes and is the genesis of the Barolo.
In 1807, Marquis Carlo Tancredi Falletti married the French noblewoman Juliette Colbert Maulévrier, a descendant of the Sun King. Juliette was the first to realize the potential of Nebbiolo grown in these lands and noticed how the use of wooden barrels added depth and longevity to the wine. After her husband's death in the late 1800s, without heirs, the estate was initially managed by his wife and later taken over by Pietro and Ernesto Abbona, two young men working in the cellars at the foot of the castle.
After five generations, the Marchesi di Barolo are still led by the Abbona family. The Marchesi di Barolo winery spans 200 hectares and owns land not only in the Langhe but also in Roero and Monferrato. Marchesi di Barolo aims to create unique, high-quality wines that interpret the diversity of places and are faithful readers of vintage, territory, and grapes.
