"Raspberries and strawberries with fresh lavender on the nose. Full-bodied and chewy with plenty of linear tannins. It’s structured and powerful." - James Suckling
"Sarmassa is a lower elevation basin-shaped vineyard with more compact soils. It lies west of Cannubi and before Fossati. The wines tend to be a bit more structured and dense as a result. This estate has 50-year-old vines at 240 meters in elevation on the flank of the basin. The Virna 2019 Barolo Sarmassa is quite elegant and perhaps a little more accessible compared to the Cannubi. However, this wine shows great balance and offers silky, integrated tannins with solid firmness to pull it all together." - Robert Parker
