justerini & brooks tasting note

Sarmassa is typically dark and concentrated and impressive at Voerzio – it being the product of an extreme green harvest and more powerful soils, alongside new clonal material that naturally produces small berries. The 2021 is the freshest of the “new” Sarmassas we have tasted here post-replanting, offering a wash of clear dark cherries (and stones), raspberries and roses, with a much higher level of reverberating acidity, cutting through all that luscious fruit. Indeed, it’s more precise than ever. Aged for two years in barrique, just 900 magnums have been produced.
