Brezza, Barolo Riserva Sarmassa Vigna Bricco, 2019

Brezza's Barolo Riserva represents a commitment to traditional Barolo winemaking from the celebrated Sarmassa vineyard, a south-facing slope that provides the richness and concentration the Riserva designation demands. The 2019 was aged in stainless steel followed by Slavonian oak, then given extensive bottle time before release. This restraint reveals a wine of genuine evolution: brick-red in color with aromas of cigar box, incense, baked cherries, leather and black truffle. The palate shows medium-plus weight with a soft, velvety finish and hints of licorice, revealing the inner balance that defines great Barolo. Made with organic farming practices.
