2010 Barolo Sarmassa

Average Score

Critic Notes

This shows incredible depth of fruit and intensity for the vintage with a full body yet super integrated and refined tannins. The texture is spellbinding. It caresses every inch of your palate. Fabulous. Only magnum. Try in 2019. (Mar 2014) www.jamessucking.com

Score: 99-/100James Suckling

The 2010 Barolo Sarmassa (tasted in a magnum) opens to soft, toasted notes of exotic spice, clove and black pepper. There’s a great level of dimension and fruit-driven softness at the heart of this delicious Barolo. Davide and Roberto cut away up to two thirds of each cluster in the vineyard to ensure evenness in ripening. All barrique Drink: 2017-2034. Jun 2014, www.robertparker.com

Roberto Voerzio - "Throw Away The Rulebook"

F+R visits the radical winemaker of Barolo Radical Viticulture – Bringing Forward the Harvest Date In the vineyard Roberto Voerzio harvests his grapes up to a month earlier than his neighbours!

Roberto Voerzio – A modernist in the vineyard a traditionalist in the cellar

** ** Does Voerzio epitomise 'Fusionist' winemaking gripping Barolo? Famed for his unique style, miniscule yields and fanatical attention to detail, Roberto Voerzio is a must-have producer for any serious fine wine collector. With only 22 hectares under vine and extremely limited production on these plants (restricted down to 5 bunches per vine), these wines are some of the rarest in ...
