Barolo Bricco Sarmassa 2008 Brezza
Wine description
The Brezza's Barolo Bricco Sarmassa comes from the vineyard Bricco, in the sheltered valley of Sarmassa, that occupies a privileged position halfway up the hill facing south. Barolo Bricco Sarmassa, it's vinified and aged separately, it's not produced every year and during its life in barrel it's tasted before being bottled under the name 'Vigna Bricco'. This wine is already enjoyable, thanks to the complexity and roundness of a great Barolo, but also maintains the ability to evolve slowly for many years.
