Barolo Sarmassa 2000 is a concentrated and opulent Nebbiolo from Roberto Voerzio, presented in a magnum format. The Sarmassa vineyard in Barolo is known for its southern exposure and clay-rich soils, which Voerzio exploits through his signature low-yield viticulture of 500 grams per vine. This wine spent 24 months in a mix of 30% new and 70% used barriques, followed by eight months in steel and eight months in bottle. The warm 2000 vintage resulted in a wine with intense notes of dark chocolate, berry compote and mint, backed by a plush and velvety texture. The 1.5-litre format has preserved the wine`s vibrant acidity and fruit purity, allowing the tannins to integrate gracefully over the last 25 years.
