In the glass, it offers a broad olfactory profile with prominent notes of wild rose, liquorice, vanilla and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it reveals a full and elegant sip, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003estructured tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant woody spiciness. This decisive character makes it the ideal companion for rich and flavourful dishes, perfectly enhancing game, mature cheeses and the classic \u003cstrong\u003ePiedmontese tajarin\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis label comes to life in the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eSarmassa cru\u003c\/strong\u003e, located on the hills of the Barolo denomination in Piedmont. The vineyards benefit from a favourable south-east exposure on slopes with significant gradient, ensuring optimal sunlight. The soil is calcareous and very compact, characterised by clay, silt and a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh presence of stones\u003c\/strong\u003e. This specific soil composition limits the natural vegetative vigour of the vines, favouring precise ripening of the bunches and giving the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct aromatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e and a solid structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManual harvesting selects the best bunches, which are subjected to a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e and destemming. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in temperature-controlled tanks, accompanied by periodic pumping over and délestage to gradually extract colour and polyphenols from the skins. Subsequently, the wine is transferred to cement vats for the spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Ageing continues in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the wine rests to develop its elegance. The process concludes with a further period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential to define the aromatic profile before release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46656110100651,"sku":"61407","price":629.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/marchesi-di-barolo-barolo-sarmassa-2020_61407_1_2c6f641e-9294-420d-871c-7e58ccae5431.webp?v=1779982029","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-hk\/products\/marchesi-di-barolo-barolo-sarmassa-2020","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
