The Scarzello family has deep roots in Barolo. The winery, which has been in the family for generations, is currently run with great passion by Federico and his wife, Federica. Following the family recipe, they continue the traditional method of making Barolo. As such, Scarzello's wines are a reflection of Barolo itself. Since 1930, the Scarzello family has remained true to their winemaking style. The Barolos they produce undergo long maceration and aging in botte, resulting in wines for the long term.

The cantina is located in the heart of Barolo and has a small production of approximately 30,000 bottles per year; all work in the vineyard and cellar is carried out by the family itself.

Although Scarzello does not possess the same brand recognition as some of the other big names in Barolo, the wines they produce are highly regarded. Their Barolos are featured on the wine lists of renowned restaurants all over the world. The Sarmassa Vigan Merenda comes from the best part of the vineyard of the same name in Barolo. Scarzello stands for quality; in lesser years, the grapes from the Sarmassa vineyard are processed into the Comune di Barolo, ensuring that Sarmassa always maintains a consistently high quality. Regardless, they produce very interesting wines, including a highly accessible Nebbiolo and a complex Barbera, which comes from the Paiagallo cru in Barolo and, following wood aging in botte, is matured for its final months in amphorae.

We feel privileged to be able to offer these magnificent wines exclusively in the Netherlands.

Originating from Boschetti, a historic MGA southeast of the village of Barolo. The sandy soil gives the wine a striking elegance and refinement, with a softer structure than many other Barolo MGAs.

Traditionally vinified with long macerations and gentle extraction. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 18 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by an extended period of bottle aging.

The 2020 combines refined red fruit with fresh acidity and elegant tannins. Already quite accessible, it will develop extra complexity with further bottle aging. Can be kept until approximately 2038.
