So young, but still an amazing experience. This wine is proof that god exists! Tasting notes later, I’m still contemplating this wine’s brilliance.

Birthday wine. Really started to open up after about 30 minutes. Every glass got better and better. Minerals and tart cherry. Leather and nice tannins.

Dec 2023: singing after 2 hour decant, great balance, not many signs of aging, style resembles classic Barolo from neighbouring Cannubi, drink or hold

Really floral and balanced with soft tannins. Feminine for cannubi but beautiful all the same.

Has all the pieces, but not as accessible as the regular Sarmassa bottling right now.
