    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Roberto Voerzio, Barolo, Sarmassa, 2007

    Similarly red fruit strawberry sweetness as the Cerequio and Rocche but slicker than the former and denser than the latter. Creamy flavours of kirsch, minerals fragrant red berries, sloe, flowers and crème de mûre set in thick but absolutely sumptuous tannins. Sarmassa is on the same hill and has the same exposure to the sun as Cerequio but is just over the border in the Barolo commune as opposed to La Morra. Only bottled up in magnums, a mere 700 magnums have been made.

    Roberto Voerzio's 2013 Barolo Sarmassa soars out of the glass with statuesque beauty and striking precision. Bright and nuanced, with terrific verve, the 2013 has so much to offer. It just opens beautifully. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2013 is uncharacteristically tightly wound. Bright acids and sinewy tannins need time to resolve. Available only in magnum.
