Marchesi di Barolo 2005 Sarmassa (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Sarmassa
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Marchesi di Barolo / Barolo

Violets, spring flowers, orange peel, licorice and cola emerge from the nose of this beautiful Barolo. The tannins are tight and the acidity is bright, and the wine needs another decade of cellar aging. Once it reaches its peak drinking era, the wine would pair perfectly with duck in orange sauce or New Zealand lamb.
