Brezza Barolo Sarmassa 2016

Colour

A delicate ruby red colour with orange reflections.

Bouquet

Olfactory range with colorful and absolutely original notes: rosewater, ripe cherry, powder, blond tobacco leaf, oriental spices, gentian. This is followed by notes of bergamot rind, patchouli, cypress berry and finally a soft and elegant hint of freshly cut melon.

Flavour

The taste is sublime for its sweetness. Caressing to the touch, it expands wide, glyceric, warm. It shows backbone, tension, tight and vigorous tannic texture. Energy in continuous evolution. In the final the farewell leaves a long balsamic trail of great effect.

Pairing

The usual combination suggest the game and read meat but given its elegance, goes well also for the whole meal.
