The contemporary expression of Scarzello's flagship parcel, from one of Piedmont's great classical vintages. Vigna Merenda is a sub-parcel within Sarmassa in Barolo village — five small blocks separately harvested, vinified, and ultimately blended only in the best years — and the wine sees long Slavonian-botti aging in traditional fashion. At 24 years on, the 2001 has shed the strict architecture of its youth and entered the prime stretch of its drinking window: still tightly knit but unmistakably mature, with tar, dried rose, wild bramble and a touch of mushroomy underbrush wrapped around firm but resolving tannins. A small-estate Barolo from a vintage that rewards the long wait.

More about Scarzello

Scarzello is a family-run, five-hectare boutique winery in Barolo run by Federico in the third generation. They specialize in the extended maceration and large cask aging that defines traditional Barolo—the Sarmassa Vigna Merenda spends up to 30 months in Slavonian oak. Elegant and long-lived Nebbiolo. This is Barolo made slowly, traditionally, and without apology.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Classic territory: brasato al Barolo, tajarin with butter and white truffle, braised oxtail, or aged Bra Duro. The wine wants weight and savor on the plate.

Tasting Profile

Mature classical Barolo. Tar, dried rose petal, wild bramble, sweet tobacco, hen-of-the-woods mushroom, dried red cherry. Firm but resolving tannins; long, savory, slightly balsamic on the close.
