This historic estate dates to 1807 when Carlo Tancredi Falletti married Juliette Colbert de Maulevrier, both nobility. It was Juliette who saw the potential for Nebbiolo in Barolo and began the traditions that survive today.

"From a beautiful growing site in the Barolo township that consistently delivers structure and depth, the 2015 Barolo Sarmassa offers a slightly austere and firm personality that puts the wine in a good position in terms of its future bottle aging potential. This Barolo reveals thick, etched lines with dark fruit, plum, spice and tangy licorice. The wine appears direct, fruit-forward and suitably propped up by its thick inner fiber. Some 20,000 bottles were made." -Robert Parker

"Rich, exhibiting black cherry, plum, spice and tar flavors, this red features a muscular structure. Balanced and long, echoing spice and tar notes on the aftertaste."
