"The Sarmassa is luxurious and radiant, with gorgeous inner perfume, bright red fruit and fine, silky tannins all of which flow from the glass in a seamless, soft expression of Nebbiolo. A myriad of freshly cut flowers informs the exceptionally long and pure finish. The 2007 Barolo Sarmassa is still closed and in the magnum format it is likely to age at a glacial pace relative to the wines of this vintage. Still, the luxurious fruit and elegance of the wine are impossible to miss." - Antonio Galloni
