This too is firmly reduced

This is sufficiently reduced that the nose is tough to properly assess

The 2011 and 2012 vintages are close cousins

Brezza, Barolo Bricco Sarmassa other_regions This too is firmly reducedThe 2008 Barolo Bricco Sarmassa is fabulous. It boasts gorgeous inner sweetness, cool minerality and fabulous perfume. Dark cherries, mint, flowers and spices wrap around the gorgeous, chiseled finish. The Bricco Sarmassa is one of the Barolos most under the radar wines. This is a prototypical 2008 that captures the very best qualities of the year. Layers of fruit build to the long, vibrant finish. Enzo Brezza did a great job with his Bricco Saramassa
